Re: Physics Problem :D

Just take a length of surgical tubing and find a spring scale. If you line it up with a meter stick or ruler, you can experimentally find the curve for surgical tubing's force per distance stretched.

It shouldn't take much time, and can probably be extrapolated to different lengths pretty simply.
