How to demostrate k in Hook' s law?
Hook's Law is a physical law that states the direct proportionality between the force applied to a spring and the resulting extension of the spring.
k, also known as the spring constant, can be determined by dividing the force applied to the spring by the resulting extension of the spring.
The units of k in Hook's Law are typically measured in newtons per meter (N/m).
Hook's Law can be demonstrated by using a spring, a ruler, and a known weight. The weight is hung from the spring and the resulting extension is measured using the ruler. By plotting the force applied versus the resulting extension, the line of best fit can be used to determine the spring constant (k).
Hook's Law has many real-life applications, including in the design of suspension systems in vehicles, bungee jumping equipment, and even in medical devices such as prosthetics and braces.
