No, a bungee cord cannot be used as a force meter because the elasticity of a bungee cord is not that much, compared to a force meter.

What is the equipment used for measuring force?
A newton meter is used to measure force.
What does forcemeter measure?
A force meter measures a force being applied. It is often as simple as a spring with calibrated markings. The most common example is a spring weighing scale that measure the gravitational force on an object. Other systems use solid state sensors such as electronic weighing scales. Note that a force meter used to weigh objects is a measure of gravitational force and does not measure mass. Weight and mass are commonly confused.
What force is used by bungee jumpers?
Drag from the air increases the duration someone will fall. Also there is a cap speed one can fall at known as Terminal Velocity. These two factors combined allow people to sky dive without instantly hitting the ground.
What unit of measure is used for force?
The physical dimension of force is [ mass x length/time2 ] or [ mass x acceleration ] . The SI unit is [ kilogram x meter/second2 ] , and is called the "Newton".
What can be measured in newtons?
The push or pull exerted on one object by another is simply a force and this is measured in Newtons. Using Newtons second law: Force = mass * acceleration, we can see that one Newton is the force required to move a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
What is a bungee cord?
An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.
Bungee Cord?

How do you spell bungee?
That is the correct spelling of "bungee" as used in jumping, or for the elastic cords.
What are the instrument used in measuring?
Force meter is the instrument used in measuring force.
What is the equipment used for measuring force?
A newton meter is used to measure force.
Is newton meter is used to measure the force?
Newton meter is a measure of energy, E= fd, Energy equals .Newton (force) times meter(distance)
Can you measure AC current on a power cord?
Not very easily. A clamp on amp meter has to go around only one of the circuit conductors. If the clamp on meter is used around the power cord the two wires in the cord have a cancellation effect and the meter will read zero. If you can separate the load's wires that plug into the cord and clamp around that wire you will get a load amperage reading.
Where can you find bungee cords?
Bungee cords are made. Usually, depending on where you live. By aspecialist who specifies in bungee cords. There are 2 types of modern day cords. Spec cords and the NZ cord. Spec cords are a military type of cord and only stretch to twice there length. Meaning if you want to jump 20', you need a 10' spec cord. Also spec cords are not very forgiving. Usually the sheath that surrounds the rubber in the cord has a stop distance that is twice the distance. Once its been reached it stops abruptly. The second and most commonly used around the world, the NZ cord is a tight bunched of elastics that are specially made to stretch 400% there size. Meaning if you have a 200lbs person and they want to jump 100'. You would need 25' of nz cord, that has at least 200 wraps in it. The science of the cord is very specific. The number of wraps in the cord very, depending on the weight of the person jumping. The larger the cord the more weight is needed to stretch it.
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.
What is the equipment used to measure magnetic force called?
A magnetometer is used to measure magnetic force in magnetic fields.
What is a force meter?
Force is measured in newtons (N). It represents the force of 1 kilogram of mass being accelerated one meter per second per second.
What is used to record volcanoes?
a meter what is the same thing as used to measure the force of peoples breath
