VI (2):
The second experiment is about finding a springs constant. Instead of measuring the weight of one mass and dividing it by the displacement of the spring, we used a more accurate method to determine the constant. We measured the displacement of different values of mass and formed a graph of the data set weve acquired. Once we obtained an accurate line graph of our data, (mass dependent of displacement), we found the slope of the best fit line which describes the data we obtained. This slope that we have obtained should give us an accurate description of the spring constant (with a margin of error).

By using the excel software, I was able to do a linear regression and obtain the values of the Slope of the graph above and the uncertainty in the value of the slope. S (slope of graph) = (7.746175 0.034111) (cm/g)
S = (7.75
