Homework Statement


How do you calculate the mass from slope of a line T^2 on y-axis and 1/f on x axis??



Homework Equations


4π^2mr/fc


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know how to attempt this. I have a data table and the graph has y=0.7385x-0.0254.
Obviously 0.7385 is the slope but I do not know what to use to get the mass.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is the equation of the graph in terms of physical quantities?
 
How and what apparatus is set up? What is the situation as regards Physics?
 
Nevermind, it is too late now. I will just have to take a lower grade on my report. Thanks anyway.
