Spring Calibration (Spring constant determination, Method 1). Please fill in the tables

m (g)	?x (cm)	FX (N)	?x (m)	Use: g = 9.8 m/s2
50	1.55	0.49	0.0155	Slope== _ _ _ _ _ _ N/m
20	0.6	0.196	0.006	Spring constant: k =(Slope)=
30	0.85	0.294	0.0085	k=_ _ _ _ _ _ N/m
40	1.15	0.392	0.0115
10	0.35	0.098	0.0035

B)Influence of the mass on the oscillating period.

t₂₀ is time for 20 oscillations (periods) and T is the period (time for one oscillation)=t₂₀/20

m (g)	t20 1 (s)	t20 2 (s)	t20 3 (s)	T1 (s)	T2 (s)	T3 (s)
50	16.08	16.41	17.84	0.804	0.8205	0.892
40	14.0.1	14.72	14.26	0.7005	0.736	0.713
30	13.66	13.07	12.36	0.683	0.6535	0.618
20	10.13	10.46	10.65	0.5065	0.523	0.5325

C)T² vs. m Plot. (Spring constant determination, Method 2)

	50 g	40 g	30 g	20 g	Slope = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _(units) Equation plotted is: T2avg=(4?2/k) m
Tav (s)	0.838	0.7165	0.6515	0.520667	Slope=4?2/k
