Hooke’s Law Apparatus
The Hooke’s Law Apparatus is used to demonstrate that the relationship between the extension on a spring is proportional to the load applied to it. The apparatus consists of a high quality, moveable, 120mm scale that is mounted on a simple stand and base. A combined mass hanger/pointer is provided and is connected to the suspended spring to allow easy reference to the scale.
Overall dimensions:
Height: 250mm
Diameter: 100mm

Key Stage 3 Physics – Motion and Forces: Force-extension linear relation; Hooke’s Law as a special case. Opposing forces and equilibrium: weight held by stretched spring or supported on a compressed surface. Forces associated with deforming objects; stretching and squashing – springs; with rubbing and friction between surfaces, with pushing things out of the way; resistance to motion of air and water.
