In this lab, we hooked different amounts of mass to a spring. We would measure the springs displacement by subtracting the length of the spring when compressed from the length of the spring when at rest with the weight on it. Then we observed the time it took for one oscillation, or period. With these factors we were able to find the constant of the spring, K, and the force of the mass on the spring. The greater the mass, the longer the time in each period, and the greater the force.
