Yr 10 Physics Worksheet Topic: Hookes law

1.A student carries out an experiment to plot an extension / load graph for a spring. The diagrams
show the apparatus at the start of the experiment and with a load added.

What is the extension caused by the load?

2.

3.Which graph shows the result of plotting extension against load?

1
4.The table shows the length of a wire as the load on it is increased.

Which subtraction should be made to find the extension caused by the 20 N load?

A 54.1 cm – 0 cm B 54.1 cm – 50.0 cm


C 54.1 cm – 52.1 cm D 56.3 cm – 54.1 cm

5. The table shows how the extension of a spring varies with load.

Between which two loads would you find the limit of proportionality?

A 0N and 2N B 8N and 10N C 10 N and 12N D 14 N and 16N

6. A helical spring is hung from the edge of a bench top, as shown in Fig. 5.1.
Fig. 6.1
Before the load is hung on the spring,
the pin points to the 29.8 cm mark on
the metre rule.
When a load of 5.5 N is hung on the
spring, the pin points to 62.8 cm.

(a) Calculate the extension of the


spring.

extension =............................. cm

(b) The law relating extension to load is given by the equation


load = constant × extension.
(i) Calculate the numerical value of the constant.

constant = ................................................
(ii) Suggest a suitable unit for the constant.

............................................................................................................................

7. The length of a spring is measured when various loads from 1.0N to 6.0N are hanging
from it. Fig. 7.1 gives a graph of the results.

2
Fig. 6.1
Use the graph to find
(a) the length of the spring with no load attached,
length = ......................... cm
(b) the length of the spring with 4.5N attached,
length = ......................... cm
(c) the extension caused by a 4.5N load.
extension = ................... cm

8. In an experiment, forces are applied to a spring as shown in Fig. 4.1a. The results of this
experiment are shown in Fig. 8.1b.

Fig. 8.1a Fig. 8.1b

(a) What is the name given to the point marked Q on Fig. 8.1b?

.....................................................................................................................................
(b) For the part OP of the graph, the spring obeys Hooke’s Law.
State what this means.

.........................................................................................................................................

.....................................................................................................................................
(c) The spring is stretched until the force and extension are shown by the point R on the
graph. Compare how the spring stretches, as shown by the part of the graph OQ, with
that shown by QR.
.........................................................................................................................................

.....................................................................................................................................
(d) The part OP of the graph shows the spring stretching according to the expression
F = kx. Use values from the graph to calculate the value of k.

k = ..................................
