Hooke s law Required practicle Flashcards
What equipment do you need?
Clamps bosses spring clamp stand rulers Heavy weight weight
How do you set the first stage of the experiment
You put the clamp stand bosses and clams in postion with heawy weight on the clamp stand s bottom
Attach ruler on the same side as you will attach the spring to the clamps
2nd stage of the experiment
put weight on the spring and measure the extension
What happens if you put too much weight
It will be inelastically deformed
Force=
spring constant*extension
What does the spring constant tells you
Tells you how many newtons it would take the object to stretch by 1m
What is the aim of this experiment?
The aim is to discover how force and objects in terms of elastic potential are related to each other
Limit of proportionality
The limit that it extends and will stay in form
Does Hooke s law apply after limit of proportionality?
no
