→Improving Accuracy
====Improving [[Accuracy]]====
: Calculate the [[weight]] added by [[measure|measuring]] its [[mass]] using an [[Electronic Balance|electronic balance]] on a flat, level surface each time and using the equation <math>W=mg</math> with <math>g=9.8</math>. This will give a more [[accuracy|accurate]] knowledge of the [[weight]] rather than relying on the number printed on the [[weight]]s.
: Add a [[Fiduciary Marker|fiduciary marker]] to the bottom of the [[Coil Spring|coil spring]] to prevent any [[error]] caused by not [[read]]ing the [[ruler]] from [[Eye Level|eye level]].
: Ensure the [[Coil Spring|spring]] is not moving when taking [[measure]]ments of it's length.
