1. 1994 Q3a P2
(a) State Hooke's law (1 mark) 2. 1999 Q11 P1 A wire fixed at one end extends by 4mm when a load of 20N is suspended from the other end. Determine the load that would cause an extension of 1.5 mm on the wire (assume elastic limit is not exceeded) 3. 2002 Q10 P1 Fig. 5 shows a wire A and a spring B made of the same material. The thickness of the wire is the same in the both cases. Masses are added on each at the same intervals and the extension noted each time.
