Aim: The aim of my investigation is to find out if Hooke's Law can be proved with a steal spring. Equipment: Ruler, springs(x4), Base clamp, Weights (up 13N), boss clamp, goggles Diagram: Safety feature: * Pupils were not cramped together as they needed room to work. * Goggles were worn to prevent eyes from getting damaged. * People could not play with equipment. * People could not run around in the science laboratory. * Desks were cleared There were not too many strict safety precautions used, as the only potential danger was if the spring snapped. Prediction: My prediction is that Hooke's Law can be proved through a steel spring, as if the weight on the spring will increase so will the extension. Hooke's Law found that extension is proportional to the downward force acting on the spring. This tells me to find elastic limit when I am doing the experiment using the formula f=ke,...
