Method

The experiment conducted was to measure


acceleration due to gravity (g). In order to do
so, a spring was suspended from a clamp
attached to a 1m retort stand. The spring was
loaded with masses at 20g intervals, beginning at
90g. The mass was then pulled down 1-2cm from
the reference point, where it was held and then
released. A stopwatch was then used to record
the time t in seconds for 10 complete
oscillations to have taken place. In order to check
the validity of the variables, the time for 10
oscillations at the initial loading weight of 90g
was recorded twice. Following this, the
experiment was repeated with a loaded mass of
110g, 130g, 150g and 170g so that the change in
t could be observed and recorded.
