Hooke's Law Exploration
Goal: to calculate K, the spring constant, of the given spring.
procedure: by taking ten measuements of different weights on the spring and calculating the displacement (m) and the Force (N) by multiplying weight and gravity (mg).
then, we graph the points and take the slope of the best fit line and this gives us the spring constant, K.
Formulas: F= -kx
F=mg
Final spring constant. K=30.976 N/m
