Hooke’s Law

How are force and displacement related when stretching a spring? In this investigation you will measure force from the spring, and spring deformation (spring deflection) using the force and position sensors on the Smart Cart.

The 2 files with “2023” appended at the end of the name are for use with the IDS Spring Kit (ME-8999). The 2 files without “2023” are for use with the EP3 equal length springs.
