In this practical experimental undertaking, we investigate the distortional effect of force on objects. The main aim of this experiment is to prove the celebrated scientific law; Hooke’s Law. Aside from ascertaining the validity of the aforementioned principle, we proceed further to determine the spring constant of the spring used in ...
