Testing Hooke's Law Hooke's Law is when forces are applied to a solid object and it can result in extension or compression. Hooke's Law is able to predict how a spring (or other stretchable object) would behave when force is applied to it. I aim to show how much force (N) strips of supermarket plastic bags will take before it reaches its elastic limit and whether the width of the strips can alter the results. I am going to do a simple experiment that involves cutting a plastic bag into strips which are all different sizes, 25cm x 5cm, 25cm x 10 cm and 25cm x 15cm. Then I am going to add 100g weights to the length of plastic bag until I reach its elastic limit. After each 100g has been added I am going to measure the new length of the plastic bag strip. I will then note the difference between the length of the strip at the start of the experiment and the length at the end in order to see what permanent damage has been done.
