+**Hooke's Law** describes the linear elastic behavior of materials, stating that the [force](/wiki/force) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. This relationship holds true up to the [elastic limit](/wiki/elastic_limit), beyond which the material deforms permanently.
