Thread: Evalute the value of extension

evaluate the value of extension ( x) which elongate under the action of load (w) of 6 N ? [Use your results obtained from rest 1 ]



please help me How i can solve this question because I don't understand it clearly

Experience as follows :

First, we put spring on the board and a paper under spring to measure the distances between each point from the beginning to the end point of extension for each weight

Then we increased laod to ( 0.2 n ) the measurement was between the starting point until end point of extension is 51 mm (( same steps for all load ))

Then we've decrease the weights ( Every time one ) from end ( 0.5 ) to (0,1 ) we got same measurements

then We calculated the average by calculat increases and decreases and divide by 2




For information, there is a Positive relationship between weight and extension
plese help me

First of all you have to find spring constant. For that use readings 5 and 3, and 4 and 2.

$\displaystyle k = \frac{(0.5 - 0.3)}{(135 - 78)10^{-3}}$

Similarly calculate k for the readings 4 and 2. Then using f = - kx find x foe 5 N.

plese I fon'r undertand

see the test (1 )

k = mg/x

0..04/1 = 6 / X

x = 6.6X10^-6 cm

plese help me
