(c) Based on the graph in figure 14.1,
determine the force constant of a
spring, k,.

(d) The spring stores energy when it is

extended. Calculate the energy
stored in the spring when it is
extended by 4 cm.

(e) Another spring, identical to spring T,

is added to the arrangement in
Figure 2.1. This new arrangement is
shown in Figure 2.2. The experiment
is then repeated.
(a) (i) A law states that the extension of
a spring is directly proportional
to the force applied if the elastic
limit of the spring is not
exceeded. Name this law.
