Answer:
F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.
Explanation:
The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form
F = - k (x-xo)
To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.
Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,
we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring
we look for the mass of each weight
W = mg
m = W / g
and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.
The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling 
the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance and the voltage (
) are related by
(1)
when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.
When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):
this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:
And since 
, substituting into the previous equation, we find:
True, because water balance is the balance between intake and output
