Aim
To investigate Hooke’s law (The relation between force and stretch for a spring) and to determining the spring constant.
Theory
The force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring:
F = kx
Apparatus
a. Spring b. Masses c. Ruler
Method
a. The apparatus was set according to the diagram. b. A mass was added to the holder and the spring length was recorded. c. Another mass was added and recorded the new spring length. d. The difference of the previous spring length and the new length was calculated to calculate the extension(x) of the spring. e. The above procedure was recorded.
Results and calculations
Mass used (g) Force (N) Spring length Extension (mm) 0 0 20 0
10 0 25 5
20 0 30 10
30 0 35 15
40 0 40 20
50 0 46 26
