What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?
It may loose its elastic nature.
What is also called elastic energy?
Elastic energy is also called Elastic Potential energy. It is the potential energy stored as a result of a deformation of an elastic object such as a spring. According to Hooke's law the force required to stretch the spring will be directly proportional to the amount of stretch.
What is the relation between the limit of proportionality and the shape of a spring?
This relationship is known as Hooke's Law, which states, "The extension of a spring or wire is directly proportional to the force applied provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded."
What law states that the force on a spring is directly proportional to the stretch of the spring?
That's called Hooke's Law.That's called Hooke's Law.That's called Hooke's Law.That's called Hooke's Law.
Principle of spring balance?
it works on the principle of gravitational pull and hooke's law. when a weight is attached onto the hook it experiences gravitational pull hence extending the spring and according to hooke's law,the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the weight applied. the spring is marked and hence readings can be taken.
What is the relationship between the force and the extension of a spring?
The relationship is Hooke's Law: the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied.

Who created the force-meter?
Robert Hooke created a force meter in 1678. It showed how the distance a spring will stretch is proportional to the amount of force applied to it. His theory is known as Hooke's Law.

How are force and weight measured?
One common way to measure them (there are others) is with a spring. The extension of the spring is proportional to the force applied.

When a spring under stretch or compressionthe magnitude of the restoring force that restores into equilibrium position according to hooks law is proportional to?
The original length of the spring and the modulus of elasticity.
Who invented the spring weighing scale?
Robert Hooke (1635-1703). The experiments of Robert Hooke showed that the extension of an elastic spring is proportional to the force that is applied to the spring . The spring scale operates on this principle.
If a 5 N force causes a spring to stretch 6cm how far will a 15 N force cause the same spring to streach?
The spring will stretch 18 cm when a force of 15 N is applied. I have used the simple method of ratios and proportion.
What is the spring constant of a spring?
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
