1.22 practical investigate how extension varies with applied force for helical springs, metal wires and rubber bands

1. Set up your apparatus as shown in the
2. Measure the length of your spring without
   any hanging masses.
3. Hang a mass of 100g on the spring
4. Measure the new length of the spring
5. Calculate the extension of the spring
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for increasing the mass
   in increments of 100g
7. Take note of your results in the table.
