Lab Quiz Question Notes

Lab Quiz Question

• Lab Quiz on Thursday, May 8, in DCBA 3 with Sullivan-Ash.

Experimental Setup

• A group of students investigated the extension of a spring by applying different masses to it.

• The mass was converted into force (in Newtons), and the extension (in meters) from the spring's rest position was measured.

Data Table

• The data collected is as follows:
  • Force (N) Extension (m)
  • 0 0
  • 10 0.04
  • 20 0.07
  • 35 0.14
  • 40 0.17
  • 50 0.24

Task

• Plot a graph of the data with appropriate titles and labels, following the GNSPES graph guidelines.

• Determine the spring constant of the spring.
