Lab Hooke's Law with Data

This Hooke's Law Lab uses the oscillations of a vertical spring with various mass loads to determine the spring constant (k) of the spring. The spring is allowed to oscillate several times so students can measure the period (T) of the spring with a known mass load (m). Several different mass loads are used. The video ends with a challenge for the student to predict the period of oscillation and spring stretch with a new mass load.
