Introduction

The Dynamics Track Spring Set is intended for use with any PASCO dynamics system. The set contains six springs with a spring constant of 6.8 N/m and six springs with a spring constant of 3.4 N/m. The spring constants can be identified by examining the “hooks” at the ends of each spring, with the 6.8 N/m springs having coloured marks on one of their hooks and the 3.4 N/m springs having none. Each set of six springs includes three short springs and three long springs, with lengths of approximately 3.5 cm and 5.7 cm respectively.

IMPORTANT:
Do NOT stretch the springs too far! Prolonged excessive stretching will permanently deform the springs.
