Plot all the data on graph paper. Your data symbol should be centered on the average value with an error bar indicating the standard deviation of the mean (indicating your best estimate of the uncertainty you have determined) for the point. (You can do this in your lab notebook, then photocopy the graph, and attach it to your worksheet. The photocopy MUST be legible.) 5) Draw a line through the data that has the maximum possible slope and still goes through the data points (i.e. is close to inside all the error bars). Determine the slope. Do not use a plotting program. While it is acceptable for future labs, this first lab should be done by hand. Maximum slope of graph: 6) Now vary the line through the points to indicate the minimum reasonable slope through the points. Minimum slope of graph: 7) The average of the minimum and maximum slopes gives you a good estimate of the slope of the best fit line through the data. Average slope: 8) The difference between the max and min slopes divided Error in slope= 9) What is the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Planet Claire and its error? (Remember to think about significant digits and be careful of your units). Gravity value and error:  Welocity 2(m2/s2)=2gh
