Hooke's Law Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/PHY/190) is a spring-extension stand used to show that the extension of a spring is proportional to the load applied to it, in school and college physics practicals. It has a 150 mm adjustable mirror scale marked in millimetres, mounted on a sturdy 300 mm rod and wooden base, and comes complete with a 250 g slotted weight set and 3 springs. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Students add slotted masses to the hanger one at a time and read the indicator against the millimetre scale after each addition. Plotting load against extension gives a straight line, and its gradient gives the spring constant. Repeating the test with each of the 3 springs shows that a stiffer spring stretches less under the same load, which makes this a complete Hooke law spring kit for Indian school and college labs.
Before loading, slide the adjustable scale so the indicator sits at a convenient starting mark. Read each value with the indicator lined up with its own reflection in the mirror to avoid parallax, add masses gently, and remove them at the end to check that the spring returns to its starting point.
Each Hooke's law apparatus is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and makes it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The company supplies it factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions and distributors in India and international markets.
Spare springs or weights for sets already in use can be requested from the maker itself — ask us. Company information is on the ScienceLab profile.

What comes with the Hooke's Law Apparatus?
The Hooke's Law Apparatus has a 150 mm adjustable mirror scale on a 300 mm rod with wooden base, a hook holding a coiled spring with mass hanger and indicator, and is supplied complete with a 250 g slotted weight set and 3 springs.
Why does the Hooke's Law Apparatus have a mirror scale?
The mirror scale on the Hooke's Law Apparatus helps prevent parallax error. Students line up the indicator with its reflection before reading, so every reading is taken from directly in front of the scale.
How do students find the spring constant with this apparatus?
With the Hooke's Law Apparatus, students record the extension for each added load, plot load against extension and measure the gradient of the straight line. That gradient is the spring constant of the spring being tested.
What is the maximum load for the springs?
The Hooke's Law Apparatus is supplied with a 250 g slotted weight set. Safe maximum loads for the individual springs are not stated in our listing, so ask us before adding heavier masses to avoid overstretching a spring.
Who manufactures the Hooke's Law Apparatus?
The Hooke's Law Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotations come directly from the manufacturer.
Can ScienceLab supply sets for a whole physics lab?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies the Hooke's Law Apparatus in quantities for full practical classes, dealers and export buyers in India and international markets. Share the number of sets and your location for a quotation.
