Hooke's springs-help needed
Posted: 24 May 2007, 10:31
Hi All,
could colleagues let me know what their school uses for Year 11/12 physics experiments in the way of Hooke's-type springs??
Our springs are either too hard (ie they don't extend) or way too soft.
We need a supplier of a spring that will be able to be used in the context of the equation: F=kx where
F=force (approx 500grams)
k=spring constant, and
x=spring extension ( approx. 50cms)
hoping someone can help here,
Cheers,
~Robyn
