Homework Statement
First of all I would like to clarify that I don't live in an English-speaking country, which means that certain nomenclatures and symbols may be different and may make it difficult to understand, so if you are unable to understand something, I will be happy to help.

Regarding the exercise itself, I need help mainly with questions 3 and 4 that I sent in the original format (excel), as I am not sure if the file will work I am sending images too.
Relevant Equations
The exercise is based on an experiment consisting of a spring-mass system connected to a motor, the goal is to gradually increase the rotation of the motor until the spring enters resonance while amplitude and time data are collected.

The expression you are given for A(ωF) in qn 3 is wrong. The square root in the denominator should extend right across.
##\sqrt{(\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2)^2}+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2## would obviously reduce to ##{|\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2|}+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2##.
It should be ##\sqrt{(\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2)^2+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2}##.
Can you take it from there?
