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?
 
T^2 = seconds and 1/F = N^-1
 
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.
