    You are provided with the following;

    - Masses; 10g, 20g(2), 50g and 100g


    - A helical spring with a pointer
    - Metre rule or half metre rule
    Proceeds as follows;
    1. a) Suspend the helical spring vertically, alongside the clamped half metre rule as shown
    in figure 1 below. Determine the length, L0 of the spring before loading it.
    L0=________________________________(cm) (1mk)
