Hooke's Law

Hooke's Law 3D virtual laboratory work on physics (section: Mechanics).

INTENT: Simulation of a laboratory work on general physics.

EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVE: Confirmation of Hooke's Law for cylindrical springs under tension.

IN GENERAL DESCRIPTION: In any elastic body, strain and stress are proportional to each other. This relationship was discovered by Robert Hooke and is often demonstrated using a cylindrical spring with weights suspended from it. The change in length of the spring is proportional to the gravity F of the suspended weight. In this experiment, the measurement is performed on five different cylindrical springs. Due to the appropriate choice of wire diameter and coil diameter, the values of the coefficient of elasticity of all springs are in the same order of magnitude. In each case, Hooke's law will be demonstrated for forces greater than the primary tension.
