The period of the vertical oscillations of a mass hanging from a spring is known to be constant.
(a) A student times single oscillations with a stopwatch. In 10 separate measurements, the
stopwatch readings were
1.8s, 1.95 1.7s 1.95 1.8s, 1.8s, 1.9s 1.7s 1.8s 1.8s
What is the best value obtainable from these readings for the time of one oscillation?
Explain how you arrive at your answer.
