Saira Hamid Physics course work 11cm Elastic Band Investigation: To investigate the stretching of an elastic band when it has some load on it. Aim: To find out how much load is needed for the elastic band to reach its elasticity limit. Introduction: By using an elastic band and some weights, I am going to find out how much weight in grams it takes the elastic band to reach its full elasticity limit before it snaps. Background: Hooke's law of elasticity states that for relatively small deformations of an object the displacement or size of the deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force or load. At relatively large values of applied force, the deformation of the elastic material is often larger than expected on the basis of Hooke's law, even though the material remains its elasticity and returns to its original shape and size when the load is taken off. Elasticity is the ability of a deformed...
