Physics Coursework Investigation into Hookes Law Aim: To investigate the effect of mass on the extension of a spring. Prediction: My prediction is that, as you increase the mass, the extension of the spring will also increase. E.g. the double the mass, the double the extension. So I am saying that the results should be near enough consistent while increasing in the extension until I reach the end of the experiment. I will now support this prediction with some scientific knowledge. Hookes law is when forces are applied to a solid object which can result in extension. Hookes law is also able to predict how a spring (or other stretchable object) when force is applied to it. So this will show extension into the spring after the force is applied. Equipment: The equipment which will be required for the testing of Hookes Law are: * Clamp and Stand * Weights 50grams each * A measuring apparatus (preferable a 1 metre...
