To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...

This module introduces a setup for calculating the Spring Constant using Hooke’s Law. In this setup, the Raspberry Pi is interfaced with an Ultrasonic Sensor to estimate the spring constant. Since, ...

The spring constant of a spring can be found by carrying out an experiment. The unloaded length of a spring is measured. Slotted masses are added to the spring. Record each stretching force in N and ...

I blame Destin and his interesting sling shot video. Watch it. In this video, he claims that rubber bands do not act like springs. By "acting like springs" of course he means Hooke's law. This ...

Introduction Have you ever played with a Slinky, used a pinball machine, written with a click pen or ridden in a car? If so, then you have made use of a spring! Springs are in machines all around us ...

Shortly after lunchtime on Wednesday 26 June 1689, Robert Hooke began delivering one of his regular lectures at the Royal Society, London. These were dramatic performances in which he would entertain ...

Isaac Newton's preeminence in the history of science and mathematics is fully deserved. However, his enormous reputation overshadows the importance and work of some of the other founding fathers of ...
