Thx a lot for you help, I got the hang of it now

Can rubber band be divided into "hard" springs and "soft" springs?

I see, so I can determine the "spring constant" by find the derivative of the curve at a specific point. But in general, will the curve for the rubber have a decreasing slope or increasing slope on a graph of force against change in length? Thx again for everyone's help

I came to find out through books and actual experiment that the torsional constant of a wire in a torsional pendulum is directly inverse to its length I find the torsional constant using the rotational version of hooke's law, t=k*theta. I have always thought that a greater length should give a...

Thx for your help I was using increments of 50g and realized that the data points outline a fit curve with a decreasing slope right from the beginning. I was not very succesfully in finding a linear part... So perhaps can you give me a rough idea of where the limit is? Another very...

This has caused me to be very confused because at one time i did an experiment, the rubber band followed Hooke's Law, but at another time, it does not. When I search the internet, some websites state that such experiments are only correctly done when the force is linear with the extension...
