This is a graphfor a bungee cord that is being tested by adding load to one end while fixing its other end on some support system
how I got the x-axis data: So say the initial length is 2 cm and after one pound is added to it it became 2.50cm. So I use 2.50cm-2cm and use it to find the elongation. so (0.5, 1) is the first point. and so on. I do the elongation measurement for every pound of loud I added.
y-axis is load. it goes up from 1 to 25.
But my graph here doesn't look right at all...is it supposed to go left to right and not left to right and left? Or it is the case with bungee cords? Please help...
TY.
