Question

In an experiment to determine the period of oscillation of a loaded spiral spring, T2 was plotted on the vertical axis and M on the horizontal axis. T is the period while M is the effective mass. Which of the following is CORRECT?

A. the slope of the graph gives the acceleration due to gravity, g
B. the inverse of the slope of the graph gives M
C. the intercept on the vertical axis of the graph gives M
D. the intercept on the horizontal axis of the graph gives M
