Question

Like the inverse-square potential, a potential described by this law has the property that all its bound orbits are closed by Bertrand’s theorem. The Morse potential modifies a quadratic potential described by this law to model chemical bonds. Lamé (-5[1])parameters were included in Cauchy’s (-5[1])generalization of this law to three dimensional (15[1])bodies. Young’s Modulus is an analog to a (15[1])(*) constant (10[1])in this law measured in Newtons per meter. This law (10[1])is expressed as F=-kx, (10[1])or (10[2])that the applied (10[1])force equals (10[1])the spring constant times displacement from the equilibrium. For 10 points, name this law of elasticity, (10[1])used to describe the restoring force on springs. ■END■ (10[1])
