Prescribed practical — Prescribed Practical P2

P2 investigates spring extension as applied force changes and requires recognition of direct proportionality while the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.

Force and extension of a spring

Hang 100 g masses on a spring one at a time, read the pointer against a metre rule as it settles, then plot force against extension to find the spring constant and the limit of proportionality.

This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
