Lab 2: Hooke's Law and Young's Modulus: Marking Scheme

This document provides a marking scheme for a lab experiment on Hooke's law and Young's modulus. The experiment involves measuring the elongation of wires under different masses to quantitatively determine Young's modulus. It also qualitatively analyzes the elastic limit of a copper wire by measuring its position under increasing mass. Key results include determining Young's modulus for brass to be 1.05*1011 N/m2 and identifying the elastic limit and breaking point on a graph of mass versus position for copper.

3. Results
3.1 Youngs Modulus (Quantitative)
A= (wire diameter/2)2 [m2] , F= m*g [N], L= wire length [m], L= length change relative to the initial length [m] 1/5 Table 1
