Question

(Show all work!! Solve the?'s)

Steps

1. Use Eq. 7 from the theory section to solve for spring constant using the mass and period values you have filled into Table 2
2. Record the average spring constant value below Table 2 and use this value to fill the spring constant column in Table 3. Use Eq. 7 again to solve for “m” and determine the value of the unknown masses in Table 3. Eq 7:    k= 4π²  (m/T²) =

Table 2: Determine Spring Constant from Period vs. Mass

Mass (kg)	Period, T (s)	Spring Constant, k (N/m)
0.1	0.80	?
0.2	1.015	?
0.3	1.51	?

Average Spring Constant Value: _____?____________
