About This Product
Students note the unloaded length of the spring, add known weights to the hanger one at a time and measure the extension after each, building a load–extension record. This Physics Miscellaneous Products apparatus should not be loaded beyond the elastic limit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is an experiment run on the Hooke’s Law Apparatus? Record the spring’s initial length without load, add known weights gradually on the load hanger and measure the extension after each addition.
