Hooke's Law

JEE Main asked Hooke's Law 5 times in 5 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2021, 2023 and 2024. It belongs to Elasticity, in Mechanical Properties of Solids (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 2 years. In 2023 it came in more than one shift of the same year.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2021, 2023 and 2024. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.

How JEE Main framed it

Numerical value is the usual form. Skill tested: calculation.

  • Natural length from two tensions
  • Wire cross-section from sag angle and tension
