1 A student investigates the stretching of a spring.

Fig. 1.1 shows the set-up.

Fig. 1.1

(a) The value l0 is the length of the spring when the load L is 0.0 N.

The student measures the length l0 of the spring. She records l0 = 16 mm in Table 1.1.

The student suspends a load L = 0.20 N from the spring. She records the new length l of the

spring in Table 1.1.

She repeats the procedure using loads L = 0.40 N, 0.60 N, 0.80 N and 1.00 N. The readings

are shown in Table 1.1.


Table 1.1

L/ N l / mm e / mm
0.00 16 0
0.20 18 2
0.40 21 5
0.60 23 7
0.80 24 8
1.00 26 10

(c) Plot a graph of L (y-axis) against e (x-axis).

Draw the best-fit line.

(d) Use the graph to determine eA, the extension produced by a load of 0.50 N. Show clearly on
the graph how you obtained the necessary information.

eA = .........................................................
