  • Demonstration Spring Set
    • Model No. ME-9866
      • Equipment List
        • 1. Four Demonstration Springs Spring constants: 4N/m to 14 N/m Lengths: 11 cm to 22 cm
      • Introduction
      • Discovering Hooke’s Law
        • 1. Hang the desired spring from a horizontal support and measure the distance from the bottom of ...
        • 2. Place a hooked mass or mass hanger on the bottom on the spring.
        • 3. Measure the distance from the bottom of the spring to the tabletop or floor.
        • 4. Subtract the "initial distance" from the new distance to calculate the stretch of the spring. ...
        • 5. Place more mass on the spring and repeat measurements/ calculations.
        • 6. Collect at least six pairs of hanging mass and stretch data.
        • 7. Convert the hanging masses to force using the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2).
        • 8. Create a graph with force on the vertical axis and stretch on the horizontal axis.
        • 9. Using y = mx + b, write an equation for each of the lines. Make sure to include appropriate va...
        • 10. The slope of the Force vs. Stretch graph in known as the spring constant or rate. The vertica...
      • Conservation of Energy
        • 1. Determine the spring constant of the strongest spring.
        • 2. Hang the spring from horizontal support above a tabletop.
        • 3. Tie a 30 cm piece of string to a 200 g mass.
        • 4. Feed the string through the center of the spring and tie to the horizontal support such that t...
        • 5. Ask students to use conservation of energy to calculate how far the mass will fall when the st...
        • 6. The horizontal support should then be adjusted so the mass will just miss the tabletop when th...
        • 7. Cut the string to test the students' hypothesis.
