The Hooke’s Law Apparatus 2 Feet SS Made quantifies the relationship between force and spring extension. With a 60 cm stainless steel frame and a 250 g weight set, it verifies the spring constant. This 2.45 kg unit provides the stability required for precise physics laboratory experiments.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Frame: 60 cm vertical height resists oxidation and structural bending. Resists oxidation in high humidity lab environments.
- Integrated Scale: 40 cm calibrated length with 1 mm marking intervals. It tracks millimetric displacement of the 27 cm spring.
- Slotted Weights: 250 g total mass using five 50 g increments. Yields accurate force steps for linear data plotting.
- Cast Iron Base: 19x14 cm footprint with a heavy 2.45 kg mass. It prevents tipping during high-load elasticity experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hooke's Law apparatus used for?
It measures the relationship between force and spring extension. This identifies the spring constant and the elastic limit of materials.
How to measure spring constant using Hooke's Law apparatus?
Apply weights in 50 g increments and record the displacement on the 40 cm scale. Calculating the ratio of force to extension yields the constant.
