Hooke's Law And Spring
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10496
Hooke's Law And Spring (SKU LSK-MTE-10496) is a spring testing apparatus: a spring hangs in a metal frame, is loaded with masses and its extension is read on a metric scale to find the spring's properties and verify Hooke's law. It suits engineering, polytechnic and physics labs and spring-checking workshops. Science Lab Supplies builds this Hooke's law spring kit in India at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, and sells it direct to institutions, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The spring tester is specified line by line in the table. In short, it is a compact metal frame on adjustable levelling feet, with a large front slot for the test spring, a metric scale on each side of that slot, and a rear storage area for the supplied extension springs and loading masses.

Applications and Experiments for the Hooke's Law Apparatus
Students note a spring's dimensions, load it slowly with the masses and record its extension against the scale. From the results they find the spring rate and compare it with theory and the spring maker's data. Springs can also be tested in series and in parallel.
- Class 11 physics: verifying Hooke's law and plotting load against extension; the Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg (a 500 g hanger with four 500 g discs) can be added to the quotation for other loading practicals.
- B.Tech/B.E. mechanical: spring stiffness and spring design rules in strength of materials labs.
- B.Sc. elasticity: moving from spring extension to wire extension on the Young's Modulus Apparatus (Searle's Pattern).
- Workshops: checking a spring's properties before or after use.
Extension springs carry an initial tension that compression springs lack, which adds a further property for students to measure.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each apparatus includes the metal frame with adjustable feet and twin metric scales, a set of extension springs of different sizes, the loading masses, and a user guide covering operation, spring theory, experiments and typical results. Springs and masses stow in the frame's rear storage area.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one apparatus for a demonstration bench or several for a class working in groups; the quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for that number. Other material testing items from the same range can be listed on that quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can students learn with this apparatus?
They find the properties of a spring and check Hooke's law, Newton's law and basic spring design rules, comparing measured spring rates with theory and with the spring maker's figures.
Are springs and masses included?
Yes. A set of extension springs of different sizes and the masses for loading them come with the apparatus, together with a user guide that includes typical results.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This spring tester leaves the Science Lab Supplies factory in Saha, Ambala, India, where the company manufactures it, so each quotation is issued by the maker without a trading house in between.
Can springs be tested in series and parallel?
Yes. For more advanced studies, students can combine springs in series or in parallel and compare the combined spring rate with the value predicted by theory.
