Planning Aim For this investigation I have been asked to find out how different masses on a spring effect the extension when the springs are in parallel, series and on a single spring. Key factors Independent variables: * Extension of spring Dependent variable * Mass on spring(s) Controlled variable * Springs The range of readings that I am going to take will be from 0kg to 0.50kg this is because it will give me a good set of data to work with. I will increase the mass by half a kilogram each time. To make sure I get good accurate fair results I will repeat the process at least 3 times. When I do repeat the process I will make sure that I leave all the equipment as it is and not replace bits or add or remove components. To make sure that I don't have to replace any components, I will before I start the test make...
