Can you use a spring scale to weigh potatoes?
Yes
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
A spring scale measures force in newtons. It works based on Hooke's law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension or compression of the spring. The scale calculates the amount of force required to extend or compress the spring.
What two forces compress a spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces that compress a spring inside a weighing scale are the force of gravity acting on the person standing on the scale and the reaction force exerted by the spring in the scale to counteract the force of gravity. This compression of the spring is used to measure the weight of the person.
A brick suspended in air by a spring scale has measured mass of 9 kg when the brick is submerged in water the scale reads 3 kg what is they density of the brick?
The weight of the displaced water is 2/3 the weight of the brick. So the weight of the brick is 3/2 the weight of an equal volume of water ... just another way of saying that the density of the brick is 1.5 gm/cm3.
When you weigh yourself what is the scale actually measuring?
When you weigh yourself, the scale is measuring the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body. This force is your weight and is calculated by the scale based on the compression of its internal spring system or the bending of a strain gauge.
How spring scale weigh anything?
A spring scale measures weight by using the principle of Hooke's law, which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by a certain distance is proportional to that distance. As an object hangs from the scale, the spring stretches or compresses, and the scale measures the amount of force needed to do so. This force is then converted into a weight reading in units such as grams or Newtons.
How do you use a spring spring scale?

What instrument measures the mass of a brick?
A common instrument used to measure the mass of a brick is a scale. A scale works by comparing the weight of the object placed on it to a standard weight. The mass of the brick is typically displayed in units such as grams or kilograms on the scale's digital or analog readout.
How much does a brick weigh?
A brick weighs about 3.5 to 9lbs.
A spring scale can be used to measure?
Not really...A spring scale is largely inacurate. For Chemical or Scientific purposes, a spring scale is not the answer.
What two forces compress the spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces are your weight pushing down on the scale, creating a force that compresses the spring inside, and the spring's reaction force pushing back up against your weight to reach equilibrium and provide a measurement of your weight.
