To verify Hooke’s law and determine the spring

constant of a spring i.e. the forces require giving units
extension. To determine the validity of Hooke’s law
for two helical springs with different spring constants.

Procedure
1. Set up the tall stand and ensure the hook is

tightly fixed to the stand. Attach a string to the
spring then attach the string to the hook.

result in meters.

6. Repeat the steps 3-5 by attaching 0.10kg, 0.15kg

and 0.20kg in each occasion, record the mass of
the bob in kg, take the displacement of the spring
and record it in meters.
7. Repeat the whole procedure (Steps 1-6) for a
second spring.

Conclusion:
The result obtained from the experiment confirms

that Hooke's law is true. Based on the experiment,
we conclude that the elongation of the spring
depends on the stiffness of the spring. We can
determine the stiffness of the spring by the spring
constant. The bigger the spring constant, the
shorter the elongation of the spring. The
m
experiment is related to the theories. Though the
er as
co
data appears to represent the physical results of the
eH w
experiment, there are a number of possible errors:
o.
rs e
-Parallax error when reading the measurements

from the ruler.
o
-Systematic error cause there was a very small of

aC s
air resistance during the experiment to prevent the

v i y re
spring from swinging and let it on only oscillation.
