Investigating the Elasticity of a Rubber Band Introduction: An elastic material is a material, which will return to its original length when a load is added and taken off, but if you reach the elastic's elastic limit then the elastic becomes plastic, this is called Hook's Law. I am going to investigate the elasticity of 1 rubber band by hanging it off a clamp which, is attached to a clamp stand and adding a load onto the rubber band. ' Apparatus: A long clamp stand, A clamp, A boss, A meter ruler, A pin, A mirror, A long thin rubber band, 100g Masses.' (1 Newton weights) The variables in this experiment are the thickness and length of the rubber band and the load, which is added to the rubber band, also there is temperature as it may effect the rubber and the metal Newton weights. 'I predict that...
