What energy is stored in a slingshots surgical tubing?

Since the energy stored elastically by an object is represented by E = 0.5kx^2 a simple calculation can be done to see how much energy is being stored by your slingshot on any given pull: The x value represents the distortion in meters (ie. the difference between the length of the band when it is in its resting state, and its length when it is being pulled). The k value is the elastic constant for the surgical tubing. This value can be looked up in a chart or table, or can be calculated experimentally (with the use of the equation: F = kx, again where k and x represent the elastic constant, and deformation, respectively). Once you have your values, simply substitute them into the equation and solve. The calculated energy stored, will have its units in Joules (J).

Why is pex tubing color coded?

Pex tubing was manufactured for plumbing. The actual tubing comes in two colors, red, and blue. These are to signal hot and cold when you are running the tubing.

What is the difference between a mandrel bender and a pipe bender?

The first difference is actually pipe vs tubing. Pipe is measured at the inside diameter or ID vs tubing being measured at the outside diameter or OD. Dies for bending pipe and tubing are different because of the different measurements. A mandrel is pulled through tubing or pipe to keep the inner diameter constant.
