Physics Assignment: Analysis of Spring and Pendulum Experiments

This physics assignment presents solutions to two experiments. The first experiment investigates the relationship between the extension of a helical spring and the applied force, analyzing data to determine the spring constant and verifying Hooke's Law. The second experiment explores the period of a pendulum with varying masses, plotting graphs to analyze the relationship between mass and the period, and the period squared. Calculations include gradient analysis, determination of acceleration due to gravity, and comparisons of experimental values. Furthermore, the assignment includes interpretations of graphical data, equation derivations, and conclusions about the direct proportionality between the period squared and the mass used. The analysis also addresses the effect of placing springs side by side and the extension of the spring with a specific mass.
