To learn how to calibrate a spring (create a scale) and measure the weight of an object.
Below is an overview of the most common versions of this laboratory work and what a "solved" version typically includes. Option A: Spring Calibration and Force Measurement To learn how to calibrate a spring (create
To calculate the density of an object by measuring its mass and volume. Dynamometer with a covered scale, a set of
Dynamometer with a covered scale, a set of 100g weights, and a stand. Key Solved Elements: State that the elongation of the spring is
Clearly labeled columns for measurements (mass, volume, or force). Calculations: Show the work for any formulas used ( Error Analysis: A brief note on measurement inaccuracies.
State that the elongation of the spring is directly proportional to the applied force (Hooke's Law). Option B: Determining the Density of a Solid
