    Experiment No. 4 Hooke's Law

    Uploaded by

    Mahmoud Samahin
    This experiment aims to verify Hooke's law and determine the spring constant of a spring. Hooke's law states that the elongation of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force. The spring constant is the ratio of the force applied to the elongation of the spring and represents the stiffness of the spring. The experiment involves measuring the elongation of a spring when hung with different masses and calculating the spring constant from the slope of the force versus elongation graph.

    (4): Hooke's Law; Expansion of a spring


    Aim of the experiment:
    You will verify Hooke's law, and study the change of length of a spring
    as a function of the force exerted by hanging weights. Also, you will
    determine the spring constant.
    Theory:
    When force acts on a solid body, the resulting deformation depends on
    the material and the force acting on the body. If the solid body returns to
    its original shape after the force is removed, the material is called elastic.

    The spring is an example of an elastic body. For a block connected to a


    spring, if the spring is either stretched or compressed a small distance
    from its equilibrium position, it exerts on the block a force that can be
    expressed as;

    Where s is the change of length (the elongation) of the spring and k is a


    positive constant called the spring constant. It can be stated that the
    elongation of a spring is directly proportional to the force F acting on the
    spring. This is known as Hooke's law. The negative sign indicates that the force
    exerted by the spring is always directed opposite to the displacement from
    equilibrium. Because the spring force always acts toward the equilibrium position,
    it is called a restoring force.

    The ratio of force to elongation is the spring constant k. the units of k are N/m. the
    value of k is a measure of the stiffness of the spring; stiff springs have large k
    values, and soft spring have small k values. The force required to cause a given
    elongation of the spring increases proportionally with the spring constant.
    In this experiment, a spring is suspended vertically from a support. When a mass is
    hung to the spring, the weight of the mass acts on the spring and so its length
    increases. Therefore, a new equilibrium is reached, at which the weight is equal to
    the restoring force of the spring. The elongation of the spring is proportional to the
    forces exerted by the weights.
