@Peter: Thanks! I wouldn't try to actually apply Hooke's law to this, though. I've updated the post to say that I don't think this is a "productive metaphor". If there is one I bet it has to do more with pressure than springs, but I haven't thought this through.

That is a really neat way of looking at it. So how does F=-kx work into this? What happens beyond the elastic limit or when the spring cannot compress any further?
