What instrument measures friction?
Friction is generally described as either sliding or rolling friction. You could devise any number of instruments to measure it. If you moved a given surface area (say a block) across another surface under pressure from above (say weight) then you could measure the force needed to accelerate the block to a certain velocity. You need a stopwatch, a spring balance (to measure force) and some maths. JCF
What would you use to measure these things Weight time height?
You could measure weight with a spring scale, unless you mean mass, which you would measure with a laboratory balance. You would measure time with a stop watch, and height with a meter stick.
What is a spring scale used to measure?
A spring scale measures weight. It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale. A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant. However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.
What is a spring scale used for?
A spring scale is used to measure force or mass
What does a spring scale measure?
A spring scale measures forces, such as weight or tension.
What is the name of the instrument used to measure human weight and height?
Herp
What instrument can be used to measure a pulling or pushing force?
a spring balance is used to measure a pushing or pulling force.
Is a balance an appropriate instrument to measure mass?
A spring balance can be able to be calibrated for the accurate measurement of mass in the location they are used. The spring balances have markings on there face.
Function of spring balance?
spring balance is used to measure the weight possessed by an object.
What is a spring scale is?
a balance that measure weight by the tension on a helical spring
What is the function of spring balance?
The function of spring balance is to measure an object's weight. The force of gravity is opposed by the spring's extended force.
Does spring balance measure weight or mass?
Weight is always measured on Spring Balance, however Mass is represented by Beam Balance.
What is the name of the instrument used for measuring force?
They are Force meter or Force gauge that use to measure the force. The meter may use spring of known elasticity or electro-magnet to balance and measure out the force.
Which instruments used to measure oil?
spring balance
Can you measure mass using spring balance?
Yes
How do you measure the force of attraction?
For example, the instrument to measure the force may have a spring. The elongation (extension) of the spring would be proportional to the force.
What do a pan balance and the spring scale each measure?
Weight
