We looked at the mass-spring system and determined the spring constant by two different methods. We took measurements of T at 25 oscillations at 6 different masses. We graphed X vs. Mass (added) in grams. We determined the spring constant by using the formula K=1/slope x 9.8m/s. The graph was in agreement with Hooke's Law because it was a straight line. We then squared T and graphed T vs. Mass (added) in grams, and de
