Make a plot of force vs. stretch distance x. This means force should be on
the vertical axis.
Since Fgravity = -Fspring (they are in opposite directions) and Fspring = -kx,
then:
Fgravity = kx
This means the slope of your graph is the spring constant k. Fill in your
value for k (measured in Newtons/cm)
