Reliant Lab K-Constant Spring Apparatus

• Product Quantity : 1 Piece

Features

• Precision Graduated Scale: Features a vertically mounted, high contrast metric scale to allow for the precise measurement of spring extension.
• High Quality Tension Springs: Supplied with a set of springs of varying stiffness and wire diameters to compare different constant values.
• Adjustable Mirror Indicator: Equipped with a small horizontal pointer or a mirror polished index to eliminate parallax errors during readings.
• Stable Heavy Duty Base: The entire assembly is mounted on a powder-coated cast-iron or heavy steel base to ensure vertical stability under heavy loads.

Applications

• Determination of Spring Constant : Used to calculate the stiffness of various springs by analyzing the slope of the Load vs. Extension graph.
• Simple Harmonic Motion Studies: Allows students to measure the period of oscillation when a mass is displaced and released.
• Material Elasticity Testing: Helps in identifying the "Elastic Limit" or "Yield Point" of different spring materials.
• Series and Parallel Combinations: Used to study how the effective spring constant changes when multiple springs are connected in different configurations.
