Force Extension Graph Gradient. However since force is your independent variable you may want to plot force on the x axis and extension on the y axis which is probably the case here. The gradient of the straight-line graph is the Youngs modulus E.
Non-linear extension and inelastic deformation can be seen above the limit of proportionality. F force in newtons N D L change in length in metres m k spring constant N m-1. Should I draw another graph which is less steep in the beginning and generally its lower than the first graph and also end at a smaller deformation.
Spring constant Applied forceextension.
B the area between the force-extension graph and the extension axis. Units of the Young modulus E. Non-linear extension and plastic deformation can. Dec 14 2020 You started to find k from force and extension.
