    1. An experiment was conducted to determine the force constant of a helical spring by plotting a graph between load and extension. 2. Weights were added incrementally to a spring hanging from a rigid support and the corresponding extension of the spring was measured. 3. The force constant, k, was calculated from the slope of the line formed by plotting load vs. extension, and found to be [value] gwt/cm.

    EXPERIMENT 9 -SPRING CONSTANT

    AIM
    To find the force constant
    extension.
    of a helical spring by platting graph between load and
    APPARATUS
    Spring, a rigid support, slotted weights, a vertical wooden
    scale, a fine pointer, a hook.
    THEORY
    When a load F suspended from lower free end of a
    it increases its length by amount x, spring hanging from a rigid support,
    then F ax
    or F kx,
    where k is constant of proportionality.
    It is called the force constant or the
    spring constant of the spring.
