Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law (Determination of Elasticity Constant) (Product Code: SCL-287/07) is a spring-extension stand used to verify Hooke’s law and find the elasticity (spring) constant in school and college physics laboratories. It combines a tripod stand 700–900 mm high, spiral springs, 10 metal masses of 10–50 g, a metre strip and a digital stopwatch for both static and oscillation methods. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In the static method, a spiral spring hangs from the head rod of the tripod and students add the metal masses one at a time, reading the extension against the metre strip after each addition. Plotting load against extension gives a straight line while the spring obeys Hooke’s law, and the slope of that line is the elasticity constant.
The digital stopwatch allows a second, dynamic method: a mass is set bouncing on the spring, the time for several oscillations is measured, and the spring constant is found from the period. Comparing both results is a good check on accuracy for this Hooke’s law spring kit. Add masses gently, keep the load within the spring’s elastic range, and confirm the spring returns to its original length after each reading.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the business behind the ScienceLab brand, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Hooke’s law apparatus and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The stand, masses and springs are supplied as one set straight from the maker to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, and questions about replacement springs or matching sets are answered by the same team — ask us.

What does the Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law measure?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law (Determination of Elasticity Constant) measures the elasticity constant of a spring. Students record the extension produced by known masses and find the constant from the slope of a load–extension graph.
What is included with the Hooke’s law apparatus?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law includes a tripod with a vertical metal rod (10–13 mm) and quadrangular base, 700–900 mm high, an insulating head rod, a box of 10 metal masses of 10–50 g, a 1.5–2 m metre strip, spiral springs and a digital stopwatch.
Why is a digital stopwatch included?
The digital stopwatch in the Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law lets students time the oscillations of a mass on the spring, so the elasticity constant can also be found from the period — a useful cross-check on the extension method.
What size are the springs in the Hooke’s law apparatus?
The spiral springs supplied with the Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law measure 32.5 x 13.5 mm (length x diameter). Ask us through the contact page if you need spares or springs for a particular load range.
Who manufactures the Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law (Determination of Elasticity Constant) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.
Can the Hooke’s law apparatus be supplied in quantity?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies the Apparatus for Demonstrating Hooke's Law for individual laboratories, multi-school orders and dealers in India and international markets. Send the number of sets and destination through the contact page.
