Two springs of the same stiffness and different lengths
have loads hung from them and the graph to the right shows the results. Which of the
springs is the longer?
A student conducted an experiment where a spring was
loaded with weights and the resultant extensions were plotted on the graph to the right.
Why do you think the graph shaped as it is?
The student conducting the experiment took incorrect results
The spring underwent plastic deformation
The spring underwent non-linear elastic deformation
The spring suffered a failure
Which of these statements gives the best definition of
Hooke's Law?
Tensile strain is inversely proportional to tensile stress during elastic
deformation
Tensile stress is directly proportional to the square of the tensile
strain during elastic deformation
Tensile strain is directly proportional to tensile stress during elastic
deformation
