Potential energy and tension energy

Principle

By applying the laws of energy the students should determine the elastic energy of a helical spring as a function of its extension: W_H = W_S.

Through the evaluation of the measuring results in a diagram the students should recognize that the elastic energy of a helical spring is proportional to the square of its extension.

Benefits
