Re: Spring constant of the latex tubing

I did a lab in physics dealing with Hooke's law, and in it one thing that we did was examine a rubber band. The graph I got looked kind of like a logistics curve. In any case there seems to be a certain range in which elastics behave linearly, and after that point, it levels off.
