Question

A spring has a natural length of 16 cm and can be stretched up to 32 cm

Plan and investigate how the mass of an object affects the length of a spring

Answer 1

The investigation is described below:

1) We take a mass of 10 g and measure & record the elongation.

2) We take 10 g and add to previous 10 g to measure & record the elongation.

3) We add 10 g to previous 20 g to measure & record the elongation.

4) Continue the procedure till the spring stretches to 32 cm.

Thus, we will see how the length of the spring changes under different masses attached.
