    This document describes an experiment to compare the strengths of two springs. Masses are used to apply a stretching force to each spring, causing them to extend. Graphs show the relationship between the force applied and the extension of each spring. One spring requires a greater force to achieve the same extension, indicating it is more difficult to extend. The point on the graph of the second spring where the relationship between force and extension becomes non-proportional is identified as the limit of proportionality. The graphs are used to determine the difference in extension of the two springs when a force of 15 N is applied to each. A second problem involves calculating the deceleration and distance travelled by a cyclist whose speed reduces uniformly from 2.5 m/
