To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...

The spring constant of a spring can be found by carrying out an experiment. The unloaded length of a spring is measured. Slotted masses are added to the spring. Record each stretching force in N and ...

This module introduces a setup for calculating the Spring Constant using Hooke’s Law. In this setup, the Raspberry Pi is interfaced with an Ultrasonic Sensor to estimate the spring constant. Since, ...

Groundbreaking discoveries in science often come with two iconic images, one representing the breakthrough and the other, the discoverer. For example, the page from Darwin’s notebook sketching the ...

Another groundbreaking discovery in science was the discovery of the cell by Robert Hooke (1635-1703). The iconic image of the breakthrough, published in the first scientific bestseller, 1665’s ...

Introduction Have you ever played with a Slinky, used a pinball machine, written with a click pen or ridden in a car? If so, then you have made use of a spring! Springs are in machines all around us ...

Isaac Newton's preeminence in the history of science and mathematics is fully deserved. However, his enormous reputation overshadows the importance and work of some of the other founding fathers of ...

Shortly after lunchtime on Wednesday 26 June 1689, Robert Hooke began delivering one of his regular lectures at the Royal Society, London. These were dramatic performances in which he would entertain ...
