concept of elasticity. It is performed simply by putting weights on the mass hanger. Using Hooke’s Law‚ apparatus weights and 2 types of spring was computed for the spring constant. By performing more than three trials and increasing the weights 10g per trial‚ the behavior of the spring constant was observed with varying force and displacement. With the spring constant obtained‚ the work done on the spring can also be calculated. II. Introduction The experiment defines elasticity which is the
