Question
This is part of a lab with a mass attached to a spring, and the mass attached is of unknown weight.
Which of the following can you measure to find one of the unknown masses? You can select more than one.
a) the distance the mass stretches the spring
b) the unknown mass
c) The spring constant of the spring
d) The spring force
e) The spring potential energy
Which ones should I select? The word 'measure' is put in bold...I tried a) and b), and it apparently wasn't the whole answer.
