OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this experiment is to study,
analyze and portrays the elastic property of then
spring. Hookes law takes a major part in the
experiment along with work done. But then what
is Hookes law? It is a principle that states in able
to stretch or compress a string by some distance
a force is required and that force is proportional
to the distance it gains or losses. It is given by
the formula.
.
Additional, in this experiment clarification
between the relationship of the force towards to
the amount of stretches or distance as well as
the similarity of calculated work done with the
spring to the area of (F vs. x graph) can be
explain and the determination of the force
constant of the spring also the work done can be
obtained.
In addition, elasticity is also present in this
experiment as the spring stretches elasticity
takes place. In definition, elasticity is the ability
of an object to return to its original shape, length
or size. Stretching much can diminish elasticity.

Spring constant:
As the weight (Force) increased, distance it
stretches increased. This means force is directly
proportional to the displacement of the spring
and the graph of the force vs. displacement is a
straight line.
