A student recorded the original length of a spring and measured its new length as additional weights from 20 to 100 grams were added in 20 gram increments. The extension was calculated by subtracting the original length from the new length. A graph was then plotted of the force in newtons on the x-axis and extension on the y-axis using the recorded data.

5. Continue adding the weights 20 gm-wt (gram-weight) at a time and record the length
of the spring until 100 gm-wt have been added.
6. Calculate the extension of the spring according to the formula given below.

Original length of the spring = cm


Extension = New length – Original length of the spring

00 2.5 2.5 - 2.5 = 00


20 3.4 3.4 - 2.5 = 0.9
40 4.5 4.5 – 2.5 = 2
60 5.7 5.7 – 2.5 = 3.2
80 6.6 6.6 – 2.5 = 4.1
100 7.8 7.8 – 2.5 = 5.3
Plot the graph of force and extension in the grid given below.

00 20 40 60 80 100 120
