Virtual lab: Force and extension

Aim: find how the extension of a spring depends on the force applied, and find its spring constant. Press the button to carry out each step of the method.

Follow the method one step at a time, or use the buttons above to finish it for you.

    Results

    Extension = new length − original length. F = k × e.

    Graph: force against extension

    The graph will be drawn when you reach that step.
