Wagner, Glenn
Physics Teacher, v33 n9 p566-67 Dec 1995
Describes a method to eliminate the nonlinearity from a spring that is used in experimental verification of Hooke's Law where students are asked to determine the force constant and the linear equation that describes the extension of the spring as a function of the mass placed on it. (JRH)
