... Rubber Band Investigation I am going to investigate the extension of a rubber band, which I will submit to increasing Newton's of force being applied in the form of 1N weights. Plan I will set the experiment up as follows: The rubber band will be attached to a retort stand, I will measure the starting size of the rubber band and then I will measure it three separate times adding 1N of force each time. I will continue this process until 10N's where I shall stop, to avoid Hooke's law coming into place. To make it a fair test we are repeating each level of force added 3 times, swapping the weights in between each measurement. We will take an average by adding the 3 results together and then dividing by the total amount of results. If any results which are anomalous or out of place occur I will retake these results to make a more accurate
