The purpose of this lab was to determine the mathematical and graphical relationship between weight and force of an object.
To find an answer to the hypothesis objects were put on a spring scale in order to find the newtons of said objects. An object with a known force was put on the scale, in order to have a control during the experiment, and to see if the scale and the known force differed.
During the experiment I used 10 instead of 9.8 newtons in my equation to determine the newtons of specific objects. This really affected my data’s preciseness.
Using the data from this lab I concluded that the force of gravity multiplied by the weight of an object equals the Newtons of that object.
For example if something weighed 7kg in order to find the Newton’s you would use the equation (9.8m/s)(7kg) = -68.6N
This video explains how to use a spring scale.
