Select a mass value (convert to kg!), calculate gravity (remember you need force, not mass!). Hang mass carefully and measure displacement (convert to meters!). For this lab we will then graph your displacement (Δx) on the x-axis and Force (F) on the y-axis. Repeat for a minimum of 5 different masses. The slope of your graph will be the spring constant (k). Graph by hand with a line of best fit (yes, you need to graph by hand, no, it won't kill you...you can use graph paper in notability, but you must graph by hand!). You may assume 0 m occur when the force of 0 N is present and may use 0,0 as a data point (that would be your sixth data point, you still need to measure 5 masses!).
