Force vs Position Spring Graph Discrepancy Question

[QUOTE="Robert Hilderman, post: 5472047, member: 593833"] 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 be lower when the spring is rebounding up but I'm not sure why from a physics standpoint. Thanks so much [PLAIN]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/pSJvRaEHX9vfzt94ZjtmS-5aAOg45ejXglriQTtsYUT41xvIa9L3Bi2X4oOJeyybPKxDadH0pVmdPIjFUcGHuOV7yZYkHGTTekWdoxLd3qzJrCBnrxPUXoD-c93zRtKOwPTHa38a[/PLAIN] [/QUOTE]
