When the free end of the plate is pulled down and released, it vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a period that depends on the mass attached to the plate. To calibrate the force constant, objects of known mass are attached to the plate and the plate is vibrated, obtaining the data shown below. a. Fill in the blanks in the data table. b. On the graph below, plot T versus mass. Draw on the graph the line that is your estimate of the best straight-line fit to the data points. c.
