You're looking to characterize the viscoelastic properties of a decellularized collagen patch used
for hernia repair by doing a creep test. (Data file attached.)
b. Fit a curve to the data to extract k and b (or k's and b's, if you have several of each).
c. Print out a plot of this sample's displacement vs time plot. On the same plot, add a
sketch of A) a curve if you doubled the k value(s) in the sample (but kept the b the
same), and B) doubled the b value(s) in the sample (but kept the k the same).
