Hooke's Law/Spring Constant
PHY 100 & 103
Illustrates the mathematical relationship between the force exerted by a spring and the associated elongation of the spring. Students will investigate this result of elasticity by hanging successively greater weights on the spring and recording how far the spring stretches.
