I oscillated a spring attached to a force sensor above a position sensor. The position and force sensors were zeroed at the spring's equilibrium. The graph below was my result. I'm wondering as to why the graph isn't a perfect line. It makes sense that the force applied on the force sensor would...
So I'm doing an experiment where I am using five different methods to find the spring constant of a spring. These three values of k should be the same but alas, they are not :( and I am at a loss as to why. The first method was by using hooke's law and finding the displacement and graphing the...
