Determining a Spring Constant




today, we had to do another gizmo, this time about springs. we had to put various weights on a spring and see how it effected the spring. After that, we had to take the graphs and put them into this blog. in the first one, we used a looser spring, which stretched more while in the 2nd, we used spring 3, a tighter one that didn't stretch as much. my prediction that the trial with both C and D would continue to line up with the rest of the trials was correct on the spring number 3 trial.
