• HOOKES LAW
• FUN WITH SPRINGS

GOALS

• TO DISCOVER THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FORCE
  APPLIED TO A SPRING VS THE STRETCH
• (HOOKES LAW)
• TO DETERMINE THE SPRING CONSTANT (k) OF A SPRING
• TO USE INTERACTIVE PHYSICS TO SIMULATE HOOKES LAW

4
PROCEDURE

• CHOOSE 3 DIFFERENT SPRINGS
• GIVE EACH A DISTINCTIVE NAME
• HANG EACH SPRING. MEASURE INITIAL, UNSTRETCHED
  LENGTH
• HANG MASSES FROM EACH SPRING, MEASURING THE
  STRETCH CAUSED BY EACH MASS
• REPEAT FOR ATLEAST 5 DIFFERENT MASSES.
• REPEAT EXPERIMENT USING INTERACTIVE PHYSICS
