Experimental setup of a mass oscillating vertically on a spring.
Experimental setup of a mass oscillating vertically on a spring.
A student performs an experiment to determine the spring constant \(k\) of an ideal spring. The student suspends various masses \(m\) from the spring, sets each into small vertical simple harmonic oscillations, and measures the corresponding period \(T\). To produce a straight-line graph whose slope is directly equal to \(k\), which of the following pairs of quantities should the student plot on the vertical and horizontal axes?
