constant force?

[UrbanXrisis]

It is true that whether using one rubber band or a bunch, a constant displacement will result in a constant increase in force?

I did this experiment in school and both experiements gave me a linear line for Force vs Displacement.

That's Hooke's Law. To a close order of approximation, as long as you aren't near the elastic limit, yes.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "constant" in this context, urbanXrisis:

We say that we have a LINEAR relationship between force and displacement if (for example) a doubling of the displacement causes a doubling of the force.
In the case of rubber band (or a bunch of them), modelling the force/displacement as a linear relationship is close enough to reality to be called true..(up to a point, that is..)

Was this what you were asking about?

yes, thanks for the replys, it helped me out

Urban, also consider

Straight Line Equation

y = mx + b

Hooke's Law

F = kx
