Offset was a fairly easy variable to manipulate, we only had to zero the scale at a point other than the hanging mass's equilibrium point. To get the D value to be .01, we found the equilibrium point of the mass, and then moved the mass 5 cm down from there and zeroed the scale. To produce a symmetrical graph about the time axis, the equilibrium point would need to be exactly the point at which one zeroes the scale.
