Some Static Properties of Slinky

Popular Physics 2018-06-20 v2 Classical Physics

Abstract

In this paper we use a simple discrete model for Slinky to explore some of its static properties. We derive some relations for vertically and U-shaped suspended Slinkies, based on which, some demonstrations are proposed that can be simply done in freshmen physics classes.
