- 1. Record the slopes from the best fit lines for both the Thin Spring and the Thick spring. (What are the units of the slopes? They do have units! Be sure to show the units in your answer here). 2. Which spring has the graph with the greater slope, the Thin Spring or the Thick Spring? Answer in a complete sentence. 3. The slope shows the amount of displacement of the spring per amount of hanging mass. Use either the slopes or the equations from your trendlines to predict how much the spring would stretch for a 500 g (0.50 kg) mass. Do this for both the Thin and Thick Springs. 4.The Spring Constant you adjusted in lab is related to the stiffness of the spring – stiffer springs need more mass to “pull” them down the same displacement. If you increase the spring constant, what would happen to the slope (rise/run) of the graph you create?
