Which Spring Constants to Use for Magnet Oscillation Experiment?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on an academic research project investigating the oscillations of magnets attached to extension springs, with an emphasis on using different spring constants to gather diverse data. The researcher seeks to identify ten specific spring constants suitable for a load of approximately 40 grams to achieve varying oscillation patterns. Clarification is requested regarding the nature of the oscillations, specifically whether they pertain to the frequency in vertical spring-mass systems. Questions are raised about the choice of magnets over standard weights and the specific measurements intended for the experiment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of defining a clear research question and designing a procedure to address it effectively.

For my academic research project, I am studying the oscillatory of magnets attached to extension springs. And to have variety of data on different types of oscillation, I'll be using different spring constants as a variable. But in order to get the springs I need to know the dimensions of the specific springs. Therefore, what are the 10 different spring constants that I should have for ascendingly varying oscillations of spring for a load of around 40 grams?

Please be more specific. What exactly is the "oscillatory of magnets attached to extension springs"? Are you talking about the frequency of oscillations in vertical spring-mass systems? If so, why use magnets and not plain weights? What are you going to measure? In projects of this kind, one asks a question and then designs a procedure to answer it. What question, specifically, are you asking?
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
