canon event: finding out your first week of college how smart professors actually are now Procedure: The spring was attached to a clamp stand above the table. 1. A weight hanger was attached to the lower end of the spring. 2. The distance from the table to the hanger was measured using a meter rule to obtain the initial reference length. 3. A known mass was added to the hanger and the extension of the spring was measured. 4. Additional masses were added gradually and the total extension was recorded each time. 5. At least six readings were calculated using Fimp. 6. The applied force was calculated using Fimp. 7. A graph of force F versus extension x was plotted. 8. The gradient of the graph was used to determine the spring constant k. 9. The experiment was then repeated using a second spring of different stiffness. 10. The same procedure was repeated and the extension was measured for the same applied forces.
