The document discusses an experiment to demonstrate Hooke's law using a spring. The objectives are to show Hooke's law and calculate the total energy absorbed by the spring when stretched by different masses. The results are presented in an observation table and graph showing the linear relationship between force and displacement as predicted by Hooke's law.

Introduction:
Hooke's law is the first classical example of an explanation of elasticity, Hooke’s Law states that
the Force exerted by a spring is proportional and in the opposite direction to the displacement x
of the end of the spring. The constant of proportionality K is called the spring constant. his
restoring force is generally proportional to the amount of "stretch" experienced.

Objectives:

The main objective of this experiment is to show Hooke's Law of spring, calculate the total
energy absorbing in the spring

theory:

The displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or
load, when a spring is stretched by an applied force, a restoring force is produced and we will use
the formula:

F=KX

F=Restoring spring force

K=Stiffness spring

X= deflection in the spring

Materials and types of equipment:

The required materials for Hooke's law experiment are hooked mass, helical spring, the masses
sizes.
Materials:

Spring:

Rod with base:

Ruler:

Set of known hooked masses:


EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE:

Hook's law is known that offers the force (F) which is the need to boost a spring with distance x,
which scales linearly to the distance,
Using a horizontal metal rod, suspend the spring.
Attach a mass hanger to the bottom of the suspension spring and measure the distance between the bottom
of the mass hanger and the meter stick.
Wait for the weight to fall to the ground from the spring.

Make note of the final location of the group hanger.

Calculate the length and record it in the monitoring table.

Using different weights, repeat the above actions.

Make a graph with your data. Increasing length versus force (mass x gravity) (initial length - final length).

Results: Through the table of observations below, we will see the record of the four experiments
and the average value of K.

Conclusion:

As a result of this experiment the theory that the displacement or size of the deformation is
directly proportional to the deforming force or load, when a spring is stretched by an applied
force, a restoring force is produced turned out as shown in the graph above.
