1. Use the data recorded in Table 1 to plot a graph of the Applied Force (vertical axis) vs.
Distance Stretched (horizontal axis.) Plot the straight line of best fit. Use graph paper
and a ruler. You also can use Excel.
Note: F = mg, g = 9.8 m/s², mass must be expressed in kilograms, Distance Stretched
must be expressed in meters, 1 m = 100 cm; 1 kilogram = 1000 grams
2. Determine the slope of the line in your graph by selecting two points on the line (don't
select points from Table 1). This is the value of the spring constant k.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Spring constant can easily be found using the formula

F = - k x

where, F = force applied = 0.49 (according to question)

and x = distance stretched = 1.9 cm = 0.019 m (a/q)

and k = springs constant = ?

using above equation : - 

k = - F/x = - 0.49/0.019 = -2579 (answer)

Similarly K for rest of the data can be calculated
