Hysteresis :: essays research papers
Aim: To investigate the pattern in the amount by which a hanging piece of elastic stretches when a load force is applied and the amount by which the stretch is reduced when the load is removed. Aim (in simpler terms): To determine the relationship between the force on a rubber band and its stretch, both during extension and retraction. Hypothesis: Not required. Method 1)     Hang a piece of elastic on a clamp stand. Ensure the elastic is new. 2)     Clamp a ruler using the clamp stand. Ensuring the markings on the ruler is as close to the elastic as possible. -     Draw a diagram 3) Measure the length of the elastic and record the data. 4) Hang masses on the elastic until it reaches it point of irreversible distortion. Take note of this weight; do not hang more than this weight in the experiment. 5)     Add a weight of 100N (change appropriately). Wait for a few seconds for the system to â€Å"stabilise†. Measure the length of the elastic and record the data. Special care must be taken to ensure that when the mass is added the elastic should not retract. 6)     Add more weights, till the total weight is close to its point of irreversible distortion or till there are no more weights. 7)     Remove the weights one by one. Wait a couple of seconds for the system to â€Å"stabilise†. Measure the length of the elastic and record the data. Ensure that when the mass is removed the elastic should not be allowed to stretch further. 8)     Repeat, till there is no more mass on the elastic. Measure the length of the elastic. Equipment Elastic Clamp stand Ruler Different weights or a weight hanger Variables Independent: Mass hung on elastic Dependant: Length that the elastic extends or retracts. Controlled: Same conditions – thus the behaviour of the elastic is constant      Same equipment Results Force (N)     Length of elastic (m)     Length that elastic was stretched      During extension     During retraction     For extension     For retraction 0     1     1.2     0     0.2 100     1.5     1.4     0.5     0.4 .. .. .. .. .. .. ..     .. .. .. .. .. .. ..     .. .. .. .. .. .. ..          900     ..     ..          1000     ..     ..          Note: To find the length that the elastic was stretched. Simple subtract the value â€Å"During extension†by the original length of elastic. Then write the result in the column â€Å"For extension†for the appropriate weight. Repeat for retraction. Construct a graph of this data. For ease of data interpretation, graph force on y axis and length that elastic was stretched (that is the column â€Å"For extension†and â€Å"For retraction) on x axis. Also possible to have intervals of 0.98 N on y axis so that value of mass in grams can be plotted accurately (assuming g=9.8 m/s^2) Plot the points and draw a smooth curve.
