Answer all queslions.

An experiment is set up to investigate how the weight, W, of an object depends on

Spring

its mass. m, when the object is brought near to the Earth's surface. The arrangement
of the apparatus is shown in Diagram 1.1.
At the beginning of the experiment, a 50 g plasticine ball is tied up to a smallpiece

of match stick rvith a string. The plasticine ball is then hung onto the hook of the
spring balance. The reading of the spring balance, W, is shown inDiagraml.2.
The cxperirnent is repeated by using plasticine balls rvith masses, m, 100 g, 150
g, 200 g, 250 g and 300 g. The readings of the spring baiance, W, are showti iti
