    This document describes an experiment investigating the relationship between mass and the force of gravity. The experiment measured the force of gravity on different masses using a spring scale. The results showed that as mass increased, the measured force of gravity also increased, supporting the hypothesis. A mathematical model of the relationship was determined to be Force of Gravity = 0.01(Mass) + 0.468 Newtons. Errors in the experiment included potential inaccuracies in mass measurements and premature spring scale readings before settling.
