Aim: To determine the elasticity of an elastic band by applying Hooke’s law.
Hypothesis: Hooke’s Law states that the extension of an elastic body is directly proportional to the force exerted on it. However, this is only when the force does not exceed the elastic limit which would result in the deformation of the body.
Apparatus:
- Retort stand
- Clamp
- Meter rule
- Varied loads
- Elastic band.
