Hooke’s Law Experiment

In the works of nature, the deepest discoveries show us the greatest excellencies. — Robert Hooke. What is Hooke’s Law? Hooke’s law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance x scales linearly with respect to that distance. That is, where k is… Read more

In the first part of our experiment, two materials in their elastic regions and their deformation in respect to the forces applied were observed. In this part of the experiment, the third material, z, and its deformation will be observed in comparison to the first two materials using the same forces. The formula z =… Read more

In our experiment, we were given several forces applied (x) and 3 types of materials (y1,y2, and z) and their deformations in co ordinance with the forces applied. The first two materials, y1 and y2, are still in their linear elastic regions whereas, the third material, z, has gone past its elastic region and now… Read more
