Spring Days Ahead Spring is a magical season for me. I love the sound of birds chirping‚ the smell of rain in the air‚ and the vibrant colors of the flowers starting to bloom. It awakens the senses.

Springs and Oscillators Abstract Two experiments were conducted to find the spring constant of a steel spring‚ and another experiment using a rubber band was performed to see if it agreed with Hooke’s law. The spring constant was found statically by measuring the distance traveled as different masses were applied‚ and also found dynamically by measuring the period of a mass hung from one end and pulled down then released into vertical oscillations. We found that the rubber band
