Hooke’s Law Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11227
The Hooke’s Law Apparatus supports the experimental study of the principle expressed as F = kx, where applied force is proportional to spring extension within the elastic range. Students add known loads, measure the corresponding change in spring length and use the results to calculate the spring constant.
The apparatus can also help distinguish elastic deformation from permanent deformation when loads are increased carefully. Its exact frame construction, spring material, scale range, supplied masses, measurement resolution and maximum permitted load are not specified in the available product data. These details should be confirmed before matching the apparatus to a curriculum or tender requirement.
Key Features
Demonstrates Hooke’s law: Shows the proportional relationship between force and spring extension within the elastic limit.
Supports quantitative experiments: Enables load and extension values to be recorded for graph plotting and calculation.
Introduces spring constant: Helps students determine spring stiffness from the gradient of a force-extension graph.
Visual measurement method: Allows changes in spring length to be observed against a compatible scale.
Suitable for practical teaching: Supports teacher demonstrations, student experiments and laboratory assessments.
Reusable laboratory apparatus: Can be used for repeated activities when the spring is kept within its permitted load range.
No electrical supply required: Operates through mechanical loading and direct length measurement.

What's Included in the Kit
One Hooke’s Law Apparatus assembly
The spring, scale, pointer, mass hanger, slotted masses, support stand and instruction sheet are not individually confirmed as included. Verify the complete supply scope in the quotation.
Applications / Uses
Verifying Hooke’s law experimentally
Measuring spring extension under different loads
Calculating the spring constant
Plotting force-extension graphs
Studying elasticity and elastic limits
Comparing loading and unloading observations
Supporting mechanics practical examinations
How to Use the Hooke’s Law Apparatus
Place the apparatus upright on a stable laboratory bench.
Check that the unloaded spring hangs freely beside the measuring scale.
Record the initial position of the spring or pointer.
Add a known load to the mass hanger.
Allow the spring to stop oscillating, then record its new position.
Calculate the extension by subtracting the initial reading.
Repeat with additional loads without exceeding the spring’s elastic range.
Plot force against extension and determine the spring constant from the linear region.
Safety note: Add and remove masses gradually. Keep hands and feet away from suspended loads, wear eye protection and stop the experiment if the spring becomes permanently stretched or damaged.
Care & Maintenance
Remove all loads before storing the apparatus.
Do not overstretch, bend or twist the spring.
Keep the scale, pointer and support assembly clean and correctly aligned.
Store masses securely and inspect the spring before each experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hooke’s Law Apparatus used for?
It is used to measure how much a spring extends when known forces are applied. The readings help verify Hooke’s law and calculate the spring constant.
What equation does the experiment use?
The experiment uses F = kx, where F is applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the extension from the spring’s original length.
How is the spring constant calculated?
The spring constant can be calculated by dividing force by extension within the linear elastic region. It is also obtained from the gradient of a force-versus-extension graph.
Are weights included with the apparatus?
A mass hanger and slotted weights are not confirmed as included. Buyers should verify the complete list of supplied components before ordering.
Can the apparatus show the elastic limit?
It can help identify departure from proportional behaviour when loads are increased carefully. The spring must not be deliberately overloaded beyond its safe operating range.
Is it suitable for school physics laboratories?
Yes. It is suitable for supervised mechanics and elasticity experiments in secondary schools, colleges and STEM laboratories.
