Spring Constant Experiment Rubber Band

The variables of the equation are.

Spring constant experiment rubber band.

How linear is the stress strain relationship for these bands. How to determine the spring constant duration. The rotational spring constant for this thicker band is not surprisingly higher than the normal sized rubber band with a value of 4 92 x 10 4 n m. General physics phy 112 academic year.

Cut a band into a strip and measure its spring constant. Equipment two nearly identical springs long rubber band support stand with a meter stick 50 g mass hanger set of masses from 100 g up to 600 g balance scale science workshop interface with force sensor and rotational motion detector used as a linear sensor. The first step was to select three rubber bands of differing lengths and widths. Hooke s law lab report phy 113.

If i assume that i could also rotate this one. We will determine the spring constant for an individual spring using both hooke s law and the properties of an oscillating spring system it is also possible to study the effects if any that amplitude has on the period of a body experiencing simple harmonic motion. Experiment to investigate stretching a rubber band duration. After you get the rubber band stretched just a little bit it is very spring like.

The purpose of this lab experiment is to study the behavior of springs in static and dynamic situations. To test whether all elastic objects obey hooke s law. In this case the linear function fitting the straight part of the data gives a spring constant of 17 38 n m. Effectively you will have doubled the spring constant by doubling the cross sectional area.

Weights rubber bands ruler accompanying sheet rubber bands use the weights to find the spring constant of the rubber bands. Phy 113 hooke s law springs objective the objective of this lab was to test hooke s law by measuring the spring constants of different springs and spring. F which represents force k which is called the spring constant and measures how stiff and strong the spring is and x is the distance the spring is stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium or rest position.
