Coil Spring, 32 mm

This coil spring is intended for experiments with elastic oscillations. It is 32 mm long, has a diameter of 11 mm and a spring constant of about 8.4 N/m. In physics lessons it can be used to investigate Hooke's law and the relationship between force, extension and spring constant, and it is equally suited to demonstrating harmonic oscillations and the energy transfer between potential and kinetic energy. Pupils can measure oscillation times, plot graphs and see how mathematical models describe physical phenomena.
