If I convert the mass to kilograms and multiply by the gravitational field, I get the spring force. Now, I can plot spring force vs. stretch (oh, convert stretch to meters instead of centimeters).

Learn about the work done and conservation of energy, the relationship between force and extension on a spring, and energy efficiency of vehicles.

A force-extension graph can be used to calculate the work done in joules when stretching a spring. Force should be plotted on the vertical (y) axis Extension should be plotted on the horizontal (x ...

A stretch of coastline in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach was closed Saturday due to a sewage spill, authorities said. The ocean water closure affects an area from the Talbert Channel outfall ...

An experiment with a paper clip reveals both its elastic and plastic properties, a distinction that's key to how any material compresses or deforms.

To study the effects of physical forces on cell growth and differentiation, researchers must stretch, strain, compress, shear, pull, or apply pressure to tissue culture cells. Numerous procedures have ...

A stubborn wildfire has one again shut down Florida's 18-Mile Stretch highway that is the primary link to the Florida Keys, severing a crucial travel artery.

Terrorism is like a strong spring; compress it with military force and the recoil will be just as hard, with more retaliatory attacks.
