Two students were investigating the effects of different forces applied to springs. Experiment 1 A mass, M, was hung from a spring, raised to position A and released. The mass is allowed to hang freely, and oscillates (swings) between positions A and C until an equilibrium (motionless) state is reached at position B. Figure 1 shows the students’ set up, as described.

Experiment 2 The students repeated Experiment 1 but tried using springs of different material and varied the mass of the weight. Figure 2 shows the elongation of two springs, A and B, with various weights attached.

5. Question
Question 5:
The students collected additional data, but forgot to label which spring was used in each trial. At forces .8 N and 1.4 N they measured an elongation of .055 m and .092 m, respectively. Based on this information and Figure 1, which spring were the students most likely using?
CorrectIncorrect
