The small −stretch limit of Hooke's Law for a spring

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The limit of proportionality is the stretch limit beyond which Hooke's law is not valid if the material is stretched further. While the elastic limit defines the point beyond which if material is stretched it gets permanently deformed when the force is removed.

Conclusion:

It is called the limit of proportionality and elastic limit

What evidence from your graph shows that the spring obeys Hooke’s Law?
What is relationship between spring constant (Hooke’s constant) and Young’s modulus?
By Hooke’s law, we know that the magnitude of the restoring force of a spring is Fs=kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance the spring stretches.  We also know that the magnitude of the gravitational force is w=mg. Therefore, if we attach a weight to the end of a spring and allow it to hang in static equilibrium, these two forces must balance each other out. Find the equation that can be used to determine the spring constant k if a mass m is attached to the end of the spring, assuming you can measure m as well as the amount the spring stretches, x.
