The spring constant of a spring can be found by carrying out an experiment. The unloaded length of a spring is measured. Slotted masses are added to the spring. Record each stretching force in N and ...
Plot a graph of stretching force, F in N on the y-axis, against extension, e in cm on the x-axis. Join the points with a line of best fit. We can see from the graph that as the stretching force ...
