Demonstration Spring Set Model No. ME-9866 Introduction PASCO's Demonstration Spring Set includes four large springs for use in demonstrations of Hooke's Law, static equilibrium and conservation of energy. Each spring is constructed of durable spring steel and includes convenient hooks at each end.Independence of X and Y Motion. Discovering Hooke’s Law 4 1. Hang the desired spring from a horizontal support and measure the distance from the bottom of the spring to the tabletop or floor.
Model No. ME-9866 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. Record this value in a data table. 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: m 9.81 ----2s 8.
Demonstration Spring Set Model No. ME-9866 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 the hook of the mass is around the bottom loop of the spring, but not stretching it. 5. Ask students to use conservation of energy to calculate how far the mass will fall when the string is cut. 6.
