Extension of Springs Apparatus

Experiment: - The aim of this experiment was to study springs & Calculate
spring constants (k)

Theory: - Mechanical springs are elastic bodies, in that when a load is

applied, they change shape to the absorb energy, and importantly when the
load is removed, the original shape is recovered. Within the elastic region,
the relationship between load and extension is usually linear. This is known
as Hooke's Law.

Force (f) = k (D Standing – D Deflected )

Where F = Force exerted on Spring

D Standing = Free length of Spring

D Deflected = Length of Spring with force applied

k = Spring Constant determined by experiment
