Does hooks law apply to a bent hockey stick. How does one measure the potential energy? Do I start by clamping one end weighing down the other and noting weight and deflection of the tip?
I realize hooks law is an approximation, and can picture its relevance to an extension/compression and even a torsion spring but does it also apply to a bent "leaf" spring? to what accuracy assuming the tip deflection is proportional to pressure applied.
