| A17-2 | Mass on a spring. |
| Purpose: | To demonstrate the linear relationship F = -kx for a simple spring. |
| Description: | The force constant of a spring can be determined by using two different weights and measuring the relative displacements. The frequency for this type of oscillator can also be measured by using a stopwatch. |
