Hooke’s law apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12652
The Hooke’s Law Apparatus is an educational physics apparatus used to verify Hooke’s Law experimentally. It generally consists of a vertical support stand, spring, pointer, graduated scale, weight hanger, and slotted weights. When known weights are added to the spring, the extension can be measured using the scale, allowing students to record readings and plot a force-extension graph.
Educational Instrument India Hooke’s Law Apparatus is designed for accurate classroom demonstrations and student practicals. Its simple setup makes it easy for learners to observe spring behavior, compare load and extension, and understand important concepts such as elastic limit, proportionality, restoring force, and spring constant.
