Investigation on how putting springs in series and parallel affects their extension Planning Introduction In order to find out how putting springs in series of parallel affects the extension of the spring I will use Hooke's law. Hooke's law states that the force applied to a spring is proportional to its extension, so long as the limit of elasticity is not exceeded. This can be written T???. This statement of proportionality can be used to write an equation of proportionality: T=k?. k represents the spring constant or stiffness of the spring. To find out how the extension of the springs is affected by putting the springs in series or parallel I will set up an experiment involving putting weights on a single spring, two springs in parallel and two springs in series. Single Spring Two Springs in Series Two Springs in Parallel Prediction I researched this topic in the textbook "Advanced Physics...
