Question

Can someone please help answer question 1 through 3 using the data attached.

1. Using Excel, plot weight (in Newtons) versus displacement (x – xo).
2. Fit a straight line without forcing the fitted line through the origin to determine the spring
constant k. In Excel, use the "Add Trendline" function to add a linear line with the display
equation option selected.
3. Determine the slope.
What is the spring constant?
