    The document describes experiments to determine the spring constant (k) and natural frequency (f) of an unknown spring. For spring constant, the force (F) exerted by various masses (m) hanging from the spring was measured and used to calculate k using Hooke's law. The experimental k was found to be 1.71 N/mm with 10.1% error from the theoretical value of 1.538 N/mm. For natural frequency, the time (t) for a mass attached to the spring to oscillate a fixed distance (d) was measured and used to calculate f for various masses. The percentage error between experimental and theoretical f, which was calculated using the determined spring constant, was generally under 10%.
