1. To the intelligent mind, need some help with the following:
Here is a table of the force applied to a spring and the resulting extension, Δl.
Force (N) Δl (m)
281 0.10
353 0.15
665 0.30
977 0.45
1049 0.50Plot a graph of Force vs. Δl.
What is the spring constant?2. F = -kx; U = .5kx^2 3. I figured this was pretty simple at first. But then, after plotting the data, I found that the slope is not consistent. Also, after rearranging for k and plugging in the values, I got a different k value every time.
Please help. Thanks
