The Anglers Problem Aim To use rubber bands to produce an accurate and reliable spring balance to weigh fish caught by an Angler. We have to consider how reliable and sensitive the gauge will be. Prediction I predict that the greater the weight applied to the band, the further it will stretch. This is due to extension being proportional to load, and so if the load increases so does the extension and so does the stretching distance. I believe that the best device would produce results to form a graph similar to the one below (line of best fit shown in red). I predict that the two bands in series will be the most sensitive device, due to its length. It will also be more stretchy (blue line). However its elastic limit will not be that high. The 2 bands in parallel will not be as sensitive but it will have a high elastic limit (green line)....
