Hooke's Law

Hooke's Law

Verify Hooke's law ... restoring force proportional to extension.

Part of the course: Mechanics β€” Motion, Forces & Measurement

Mission

Verify Hooke's law "The magnitude of the restoring force of an ideal spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring"

Variables

What you change

  • Weight

What you measure

  • Spring stretch

What you keep constant

  • Temperature
  • Spring

Equations

F = Pulling force (N)

k = Spring constant (\frac{N}{m})

x = displacement in length (m)

F = k.x
