How do i calculate the elasticity of a rubber band? I have values for weight attached and time taken for one complete oscillation. Are there any other formulas other than hooke's law?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Maybe you are looking to calculate Young's modulus?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

or you are trying to get the value of 'k' from 'F=kx'

OpenStudy (experimentx):

well we have ... T=1/2pi(k/m)^1/2 that you can find 'k' using time period ... but after al it's derived form hook law .. i think its' the simplest thing that you can do.

i've attached different weights to a rubber band, and kept the displacement the same, my independent variables are the weights and the number of rubber bands used. I'm trying to find out the perfect ratio of elasticity to weight when bungee jumping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's okay i found out how to do it :D
