Step-by-Step Procedure
- Attach the spring balance or Newton meter securely so it hangs vertically.
- Place the first known mass (e.g., 100 g) on the balance hook.
- Wait for the reading to stabilize and record the weight (in Newtons, N).
- Repeat steps 2–3 for several masses (e.g., 200 g, 300 g, 400 g).
- Plot a graph of weight (N) against mass (kg).
