experimental results

You will need to draw two graphs.

The first is F (y axis) against acceleration (x axis).

(Why? Because F=ma)

The second is mass (number of weights) (x axis) against 1/acceleration. (1 divided by the value for acceleration)

You can use excel. There are some sample results below.
