0 1 . 3 The student hung a mass of 0.050 kg from the
spring. gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg
Calculate the weight of the 0.050 kg mass.
Use the equation:
weight = mass × gravitational field strength
[2 marks]
Weight = N
0 1 . 4 The weight of the mass applies a force to the spring.
The student added more masses and recorded the extension of the spring.
Which graph in Figure 2 shows the relationship between the force applied to the
spring and the extension of the spring?
