BACKGROUND
Many kinds of motion repeat themself over and
over. Spring is an object connected to two masses
which applies an equal and opposite force to each
mass based primarily on the distance separating
the two masses. According to Hookes Law, if the
string given a force, lengthening of spring will same
with that force as long as the elasticity limit hasnt
exceed yet. In daily lifes, there are so many
Hookes Law applications. Such as in bed, sofa,
even in a vehicle. So that, we need to learn about
that law clearly and the others daily applications.

Determines the spring constant by Hookes Law
Measures gravity acceleration with liquid pole
vibration
BASIC THEORY
Vibration
Hookes Law
Liquid Pole
Simple Harmonic Motion
Vibration is periodic back-and-forth motion of the
particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly
resulting when almost any physical system is
displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed
to respond to the forces that tend to restore
equilibrium.

Vibration
Simple Harmonic Motion
simple harmonic motion, in physics,
repetitive movement back and forth through an
equilibrium, or central, position, so that the
maximum displacement on one side of this
position is equal to the maximum displacement
on the other side.

The time interval of each complete vibration is
the same, and the force responsible for the
motion is always directed toward the
equilibrium position and is directly proportional
to the distance from it.
Hookes Law
HOW TO CALCULATE A SPRING CONSTANT
Hooke's Law states that the restoring force of a
spring is directly proportional to a small
displacement. In equation form, we write



where x is the size of the displacement and the
proportionality constant k is specific for each spring.
And the minus sign shows that this force is in the
opposite direction of the force thats stretching or
compressing the spring.

F = -k x
Hookes law is valid as long as the elastic material youre
dealing with stays elastic that is, it stays within its
elastic limit. If you pull a spring too far, it loses its stretchy
ability. When a spring stays within its elastic limit and
obeys Hookes law, the spring is called an ideal spring.
Liquid Pole
U pipe is one of the simplest associated vessel shaped
U. When U pipe filled with a certain kind of liquid, the
second liquid in the pipe has the same height, means to
follow the law relating vessel
EXPERIMENT PROCEDURES
1. Weigh the mass of spring, bucket, and small loads with
technical balance
2. Hang up the bucket in Spring and watch closely the pointer
position of it
3. Fill the bucket with load one by one. And write the load
position in each time
4. then, put the load one by one until the mass of system
decrease or even used up. Each time, watch closely the
pointer position
5. Repeat the 2
nd
, 3
rd
, and 4
th
procedures but vibrate the bucket.
Watch closely the vibrate time t in several times; every
observation consists of 10 vibration
6. Measure the length of Liquid Pole
7. Make the liquid position in different high, then liberate it.
Measure T (Period) in 5 times (every t consists of 5 swings).
T=t/5
DATA PROCESSING
GRAVITY CONSTANT FORMULA
g =

Where g is gravity constant, L is a length of pipe and
T is period.
RESULTS
Mass of bucket : 64,7gram
Mass of loads :
M1 = 9,9gram
M2 = 10,1gram
M3 = 10,1gram
M4 = 10,1gram
M5 = 9,7gram
a. Determine the gravity (g) of liquid column
b. Determine the constant of spring

Count the gravity (g) of liquid column

Count the constant of spring




CONCLUSIONS
Hooke's Law says that the stretch of a spring is
directly proportional to the applied force. (Engineers
say "Stress is proportional to strain".) In symbols, F
= kx, where F is the force, x is the stretch, and k is
a constant of proportionality. If Hooke's Law is
correct, then, the graph of force versus stretch will
be a straight line.
