Spring Length: -- cm
Cylinder Status: At Rest
Current Phase:
1 - Measure Empty Spring
System Properties
Slinky
Stiff
Step 1: Empty Spring
Measure natural spring length x₁
x₁ = -- cm
Step 2: With Mass m
Attach mass m and measure x₂
x₂ = -- cm
x₀ = x₂ - x₁ = -- cm
x₀ = x₂ - x₁ = -- cm
Step 3: Setup & Experiment
Extend spring to x₃ and release mass from height h
20 cm
20 cm
x = x₃ - x₁ = -- cm
h = -- cm
h = -- cm
Step 4: Record Data
When cylinder barely moves, record the values
