Investigate whether the extension of the spring is proportional to the weight suspended from the spring.

Define elastic and non-elastic deformation in materials. Calculate the extension (or compression) of a material using its length and original length. State Hooke’s law and use it to calculate the force required to cause a given extension in a spring using the spring constant.
