Set of 3 elastic strings
Product Code : SCL-ES-12766
The Set of 3 Elastic Strings by Educational Instrument India is a useful physics laboratory accessory designed for experiments related to elasticity, stretching, force, tension, Hooke’s law, wave motion, vibration, and energy transfer. These elastic strings are ideal for school laboratories, college physics labs, STEM classrooms, and demonstration experiments where flexible and stretchable material is required.
This set includes three elastic strings that can be used individually or together for comparative demonstrations. Students can observe how elastic materials extend under applied force and return to their original length when the force is removed. The apparatus helps learners understand important physics concepts such as elastic limit, restoring force, tensile force, potential energy, and oscillatory motion through hands-on experimentation.
Manufactured for educational use, the strings are lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle. They are suitable for practical demonstrations with spring balances, retort stands, pulleys, weights, vibration setups, and wave demonstration apparatus.

How to Use Set of 3 Elastic Strings
Select one elastic string from the set according to the experiment requirement.
Fix one end of the elastic string to a stable support, retort stand, or hook.
Attach a known weight or spring balance to the other end.
Slowly apply force and observe the extension of the elastic string.
Measure the change in length using a scale or measuring tape.
Record the applied force and extension values.
Compare the behavior of all three strings if required.
Remove the load after the experiment and allow the string to return to its original length.
Store the strings properly after use to avoid damage or over-stretching.
Educational Importance
The Set of 3 Elastic Strings helps students understand the behavior of elastic materials under force. It provides a simple and practical way to demonstrate how force causes extension and how elastic objects can store energy. This makes it useful for teaching Hooke’s law, elasticity, vibrations, oscillations, and wave propagation in a clear and visual manner.
Applications
Elasticity experiments
Hooke’s law demonstration
Force and extension study
Tension and stretching experiments
Wave motion demonstrations
Vibration and oscillation studies
Energy storage and transfer experiments
Classroom physics demonstrations
Safety Instructions
Use the elastic strings under teacher or laboratory supervision.
Do not stretch the strings beyond their safe elastic limit.
Keep the strings away from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Avoid sudden release while stretched, as it may snap back.
Do not use damaged or cracked elastic strings.
Store in a dry and cool place after use.
