INFERENCE: EXTENSION OF SPRING DEPENDS ON FORCE

HYPOTHESIS: WHEN FORCE INCREASE EXTENSION INCREASE

AIM: TO INVESTIGATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORCE AND EXTENSION
MANIPULATED VARIABLE: FORCE
RESPONDING VARIABLE:EXTENSION OF SPRING
CONSTANT VARIABLE:DIAMETER OF SPRING
LIST OF APPARATUS AND MATERIAL: RULER, SLOTTED WEIGHT, RETORT STAND,
PIN, PLASTICINE
ARRANGEMENT OF APPARATUS:

PROCEDUR: ORIGINAL LENGTH OF SPRING IS MEASURED AND SLOTTED WEIGHT

0.5N HANG TO THE SPRING
LENGTH OF SPRING IS MEASURED.
EXTENSION OF SPRING = LENGTH OF SPRING – ACTUAL LENGTH OF SPRING IS
CALCULATED.
EXPERIMENT IS REPEATED WITH WEIGHT 1.0N, 1.5N, 2.0N AND 2.5N
