elastic behaviour of tension springs under load

Description:

• Hooke’s law describes the elastic behaviour of components where deformation is proportional to the load acting upon them.
• This behaviour is typical for metals under light loads.
• TM 400demonstrates the application of Hooke’s law and shows the deformation of tension springs under load.
• For this purpose, a spring is suspended from a stand and loaded.
• The elongation is read-off directly from a scale.
• As a linear relationship is shown between the active force and the elongation of the spring, Hooke’s law can be applied.
