Coil Spring
• The spring is of the same heavy-duty design as those used in vehicle suspensions.
• Two metal ‘bosses’ hold the spring securely in the testing machine, which compresses the spring.
• The digital indicator of the testing machine measures the change in spring length (displacement) for a given change in applied force.
• Students use the displacement and force values to find the actual spring rate and compare it with the theoretical value, based on the spring dimensions.
• The experiment helps to show Hooke’s Law for the relationship between force and displacement on a spring.
