IB PHYSICS > IB IA EXPERIMENTS [|IA criteria checklist.doc] - always a good idea to look at this before submitting your work. =PRACTICAL: Time period of oscillating mass on a spring=

PROCEDURE:
For the static spring, measure Force against Extension. Set the spring oscillating. Measure time period against mass. Record data and uncertainties. Plot graph of T vs m. Process data to obtain straight line graph. Include error bars for first and last points. Calculate gradient. Calculate value for g including uncertainty.

REPORT: DCP
If you have measured g using the pendulum as well, compare the values and the methods and evaluate which gives the better result.
