Spring Lab Slide 1
This is an open-ended lab where students need to find the relationship between F and deltax, the spring force and the spring displacement. The students are given three springs and they're going to make a graph like in this slide for each of the three springs. The graph will consist of different spring forces (caused by different weights hanging on them at equilibrium) and measuring the effect on how the spring stretches. We'll use the graph to come up with the spring equation.
