How I can Construct a graph of Stretching Force vs Spring Extension, the Force needs to be in the vertical axis. And how I can using the trendline of the graph to find the Spring Constant (aka Elastic Constant) k k = 6 ,and to find the mass of the unknown masses in the simulation using the trendline equation. Which is unknown masses that give a detailed procedure to find its mass ?
Stretching Force mg (N) |
Spring extension y (m) |
50/1000*9.8=0.49 |
7/100=0.07 |
1.08 |
0.13 |
1.67 |
0.19 |
1.96 |
0.23 |
2.35 |
0.27 |
2.74 |
0.31 |
Here is the graph of force vs extension.
The slope of graph will be equal to spring constant of the given spring
_____________
so,
spring constant = 9.264 N/m
______________________________________________
How you can find unknown mass ?
Just hang the unknown mass from the same spring ( for which you know the spring constant)
let the mass come to rest, measure the extension of spring
then
F = kx
mg = kx
m = kx / g
where 'x' is extension of spring,
