1.30 understand that the initial linear region of a force-extension graph is associated with Hooke’s law

Hooke's Law:

Force is directionally proportional to Extension

For the first part this is correct as it is a straight proportional line.

However when the elastic limit is approached, they are no longer proportional and the rate of extension decreases. Once an elastic material has hit the elastic limit, it will not recover its original shape.
