5. Continue adding the weights 20 gm-wt (gram-weight) at a time and record the length
of the spring until 100 gm-wt have been added.
6. Calculate the extension of the spring according to the formula given below.

Original length of the spring = cm


Extension = New length – Original length of the spring

00 2.5 2.5 - 2.5 = 00


20 3.4 3.4 - 2.5 = 0.9
40 4.5 4.5 – 2.5 = 2
60 5.7 5.7 – 2.5 = 3.2
80 6.6 6.6 – 2.5 = 4.1
100 7.8 7.8 – 2.5 = 5.3
Plot the graph of force and extension in the grid given below.
