Fig.3.1 shows the load-extension graphs for two springs, A and B.
Determine the extension of spring A for a load of 10N.
Â
extension = .................................................. mmÂ
State which spring is easier to stretch and give a reason for your answer.
A different spring is suspended from the edge of a bench, as shown in Fig.3.2.
With no load on the spring, the pin points to 19.7 cm on the metre rule, as shown in Fig. 3.2.
When a load of 6.0N is attached to the spring, the pin points to 43.9 cm, as shown in Fig. 3.3.
