To stop the oscillatory motion of the spring click on the hanging mass or slide the friction bars to its maximum → “lots” Record the period, T1, and the mass, m1 in kg and the corresponding periods and masses, T2, m2, T3, m3…; Plot a graph using excel and have it calculate the slope of the line passing through your experimental data points, pairs of values, (x,y), (T2,4π2m) OR Plot a graph using this script; the slope will be automatically calculated;If you use the script make sure you: Title the graph; Enter the pair of values, see theory below; Label the axis and metion the units; Download fireshot a firefox addon, save the graph as a jpg file, and upload it; Answer the 2 questions at the bottom of the graph.
