A spring apparatus is often used to figure out the force constant of a spring. It has a ruler, spring (with a circular platform to add masses on) and a needle (place at 0 on the ruler). Because force and distance are directly proportional, as you add masses and see the distance on the ruler you can easily figure out the force constant with the equation Fe = kx , where Fe = FG = mg

When the helical compression spring is subjected to axial compressive force the type of induced in the spring wire is?

When a helical compression spring is subjected to axial compressive force, the type of stress induced in the spring wire is primarily compressive stress. This stress is caused by the load that the spring is supporting, leading to a reduction in the length of the spring along its axial direction.

Suggest suitable Experiments to find spring constant of a helical spring?

Connect a mass to the bottom of the spring. (depending on the spring size, the mass will vary, the larger the spring the greater the mass u can use) Suppose you use a 100 g mass on a spring, measure the amount by which it stretches and record the data. Use hooke law to figure out the constant of the spring. K = m.g/x m = mass, g =gravity, x = stretch
