C. Introduction
At the practical level, the force is simple in the form of push and pull. Force is
a vector quantity that has magnitude (quantity) and direction. One way toapplying
force is to hang a mass, and determine the force based on the assumption that the
gravitational pull towards the mass down towards the center of the earth is equal to
F= mg
where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s2 ). Unit g
too can be stated in N / kg. Another way to apply force is to pull on a spring. The
spring will stretch when pulled, and if we add up the strain it will directly proportional
to the force imposed, so that the spring can be calibrated with measure the unknown
force. In this experiment you will use a force known to be connected with the
gravitational pull on a calibrated mass to investigate the properties of the spring scale
on the dynamometer.
Hooke's Law explains the relationship between force magnitude and strain
magnitude on a spring "ideal". Hooke's Law states that force (F) and strain (Δx) are
proportional straight.
F=kx
In other words, the force ratio divided by strain is constant, k. this
constantreferred to as a spring constant.

D. Procedure
1. Place a scaled spring (dynamometer) on a static board, so that the spring is
hangingvertical in the tube. Don't hang something on the bottom spring handle
(bottom hook). Indicators must point to the zero mark on the scale label. To zero
outspring scale, loosen the screw on the scale. Rotate the top hook (Top hook) in
the direction of the needleclock to decrease the indicator, and turn
 counterclockwise toraise the indicator. If the indicator has pointed to zero, tighten
the locking screw.
2. Tie the strap on the bottom hook and hang the mass hanger on the rope.
3. Add mass to the hanger until the indicator points at a scale of 10 mm onlabel.
Adjust the mass to as close as possible to the scale of 10 mm on the label.Estimate
uncertainty.
4. Record the total mass (including the mass of the hanger) in the data table. Note
ituncertainty.
5. Add mass to the hanger until the indicator points to the 20 mm scale on the label
andnote the total mass and its uncertainty.
6. Repeat the process so that the indicator drops every 10 mm until the indicatorrefers
to a scale of 80 mm on the label. Note for each total massand its uncertainty.

F. Analysis
Perubahan pegas sebanding dengan gaya yang merupakan hasil kali massa beban dan
gravitasi yang diberikan. Apabila gaya yang diberikan dilepaskan, maka pegas akan kembali
ke panjang mula – mula. Hal ini sesuai dengan elastisitas yang dimiliki oleh pegas. Pada
dasarnya, apabila gaya yang diberikan lebih kecil daripada batas elastisitasnya maka benda
tersebut akan kembali ke bentuk semula setelah gaya dihilangkan. Tetapi apabila gaya yang
diberikan melebihi batas elastisnya maka benda tidak akan kembali ke bentuk semula
melainkan berubah bentuk secara permanen.

G. Conclusion
Hukum Hooke menyatakan bahwa besar gaya berbanding lurus dengan pertambahan
panjang pegas. Semakin besar gaya yang bekerja pada pegas, semakin besar pertambahan
panjang pegas. Perbandingan anatara besar gaya terhadap pertambahan panjang pegas bernilai
konstan. Hukum Hooke berlaku ketika gaya tidak melampaui batas elastisitas pegas.
