General Aim of Hooke’s Law Experiment
- To determine the force constant of the spring statically and dynamically.
- To determine the effective mass of the hanger.
Hooke’s Law Experiment.. Method
Mass‐Spring extension method.
Hooke’s Law.. Learning Objectives
By the end of the experiment, the student should be able to: State Hooke’s law.
Enumerates the factors affecting the spring constant.
Setup an experiment to determine the spring constant using static and dynamic methods.
Hooke’s Law Experiment.. Theoretical Background
Hook’s relates the force (F) pulling or pushing on a spring (or other elastic material) to the amount the spring stretches or compresses land this force is directly proportional to the extension Δl.
Where k is the force (or spring) constant.
When the hanger of mass M is loaded with a mass m is displaced slightly from its equilibrium position and then is released, it will perform simple harmonic motion with periodic time.
Hooke’s Law Principle of Work
Measuring the extension produced by different weights and period of oscillations caused by these different weights.
“With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves in a situation that forced us to act quickly to find the best solution available to provide our students with a quality molecular genetics laboratory experience.”
'' Although there are now several vendors offering virtual reality software for physics labs, there is only one that offers a realistic, I feel like I’m in a real lab, solution: PraxiLabs.''
" PraxiLabs offered my students a chance to actively engage with the material. Instead of watching videos on a topic, they could virtually complete labs and realize the practical applications of class topics. This is a quality alternative to in-person labs."
"Great user experience and impressive interaction, I am very pleased to have tried the simulations and will continue to do so."
