(b) By least-squares fitting, determine the straight line that best fits the data. (c) To complete part (b), do you want to use all the data points, or should you ignore some of them? Explain. (d) From the slope of the best-fit line, find the spring constant k. (c) If the spring is extended to 105 mm, what force does it exert on the suspended object?

The mass of the block depicted in the image is 2.94 kg. The spring has a spring
constant of 77.2 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the
floor is 0.735. Assume that the spring makes no contact with the floor and
therefore friction only acts on the block.
How far must the block and spring assembly be compressed to just barely
overcome the force of static friction acting on the block?
Report your result in meters.

You are currently working on determining the spring constant of industrial springs. To do this, you measure the elongation of springs placed on a graduated inclined plane, to which you attach masses. Constraints One end of the spring is attached to a hook at the top of the inclined plane and the other end is attached to a mass.The spring is parallel to the plane, and the force it exerts on the mass is also parallel to the plane.The angle of inclination of the plane is known, as well as its uncertainty.There is no friction between the plane and the mass.The natural length of the spring and its uncertainty are known.By hooking a known mass (m ± delta m), you measure that the spring now has a length (L ± delta L).We use the value g=(9.81 ± 0.01)m/s^2 for our calculations.
