Hooke's Law Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-EAST-11171
Hooke's Law Apparatus (SKU LSK-EAST-11171) shows that the extension of a spring is proportional to the load on it. A spring hangs beside a 30 cm mirror scale, and a pointer on the weight hanger marks the extension as slotted weights are added. It is used for the Class 11 spring-constant practical and in diploma physics. Every set is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in Saha, Ambala, India, at Plot 448 of the HSIIDC Industrial Area, and sold by the company directly to schools, colleges, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Both versions of the Hooke's law set are compared in the table below. To sum up, the standard model has a 30 cm mirror scale with spring, slotted weights, hanger and pointer complete on a stand, while the alternative model uses a 12 cm aluminium scale and a hanger without slotted weights on a metallic stand.

Applications and Experiments for the Hooke's Law Apparatus
Students note the pointer position on the scale, add one slotted weight at a time and record each new reading. Plotting extension against load gives a straight line whose slope yields the spring constant, and the mirror scale helps them read the pointer without parallax error in a busy school lab.
- Class 11 physics practical: finding the force constant of a helical spring from a load–extension graph, with extra load from Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg.
- Comparing calibrated spring readings with a Set of Spring Force Meters with Different Ranges from 1 N to 20 N.
- Loading the 12 cm aluminium-scale model with steel masses from a Mass Set with Hangers, since that version has no slotted weights.
Add weights gently, keep within the spring's elastic range so it returns to its original length, and keep hands clear when loads are removed.
Standard Scope of Supply
The standard set contains the 30 cm mirror scale, spring, slotted weights with hanger and pointer, complete on a stand. The alternative set has a 12 cm aluminium scale, spring and slotted weight hanger, without slotted weights, complete on a metallic stand. State which version you need when asking for a price.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from one Hooke's law set to a full batch for a school physics lab, with packing, delivery time and price stated for that quantity. Slotted masses or force meters can sit on the same quotation as the sets themselves.
Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria, as it holds an Importer-Exporter Code. Reach the team via the contact page, add the set to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page when buying through a tender process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two versions?
The standard version has a 30 cm mirror scale and includes slotted weights with hanger and pointer on a stand. The alternative version uses a 12 cm aluminium scale with a slotted weight hanger, no slotted weights, on a metallic stand.
Why is a mirror scale used?
When the pointer and its reflection in the mirror line up, the student's eye is directly level with the pointer. This removes parallax error and gives more consistent extension readings across a class.
Which experiment does it support in Class 11?
It supports finding the spring constant of a helical spring by plotting a graph of extension against load, one of the standard Class 11 physics practicals on elasticity.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures both versions of the Hooke's law set at its Ambala works in Saha. Buyers therefore get pricing, version advice and any follow-up straight from the maker instead of through a dealer.
