This experiment aimed to calculate spring constants by studying how springs change shape under applied loads based on Hooke's law. Springs are elastic bodies that absorb energy by changing shape when a load is applied and recover their original shape when unloaded. Within the elastic region, the relationship between load and extension is linear, as described by Hooke's law. The spring constant k is determined experimentally using the equation that relates the force applied to a spring to the difference between its free length and deflected length under that force.

Experiment: - The aim of this experiment was to study springs & Calculate spring constants (k)
Theory: - Mechanical springs are elastic bodies, in that when a load is
applied, they change shape to the absorb energy, and importantly when the load is removed, the original shape is recovered. Within the elastic region, the relationship between load and extension is usually linear. This is known as Hooke's Law.
