Basic Idea:

• Examine an interesting spring system stretching under load.

	What:	How Many:	Where:
	Double-springs (with chain inside)	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf E2
	Small mass rack	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf D2
	Masses	500g – 2 200g – 2 100g – 2 50g – 1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf D3
	50g Mass hangar	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf D3
	Long metal rod (1 x 0.02 m)	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf B4
	Pendulum clamp	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf C2
	Large bench clamp	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf C4
	2m - Meterstick	1	non-Majors Storeroom, shelf AA1
	Meterstick calipers	2	non-Majors storeroom, shelf AA3

Notes:

• Lab Setup (photo details):
  • It's easier to put the masses on the small mass rack while you're still in the stockroom!
  • One pair of springs in the box is labeled not-for-use. Both top and bottom springs pre-stressed, so they don't produce the graph 'hook' when lightly loaded!
    • This lab gets set up in either Bewkes 204 or Bewkes 231, depending on the respective schedules of the Phys103 and 151 labs. Jeff knows which lab to use.
