This is quite a lengthy question but I'll shorten it so you can
digest the gist of the question
A student sets up an experiment to investigate how the extension
of a spring is related to the force applied. So basically, he
attached a coiled spring to the retort stand and also a metre
rule beside it. He then added on masses from to 0 to 0.8kg
and measure the extension of the spring (with a needle tied to the
spring so that it can actually point at the measurement on the
metre rule)
Question: Logically, as more masses are added, greater force is
exerted on the spring resulting in a longer extension. Explain this
conclusion(why greater force exerted/added onto spring results in
greater extension of spring)
Well, not sure how to explain this but you simply just know that
the spring increases in extension. HAHA
Thanks
