they both weigh something

∙ 12y agoA spring scale measures weight while a triple beam balance measures mass.
Weight
Advantages: lighter, more compact, and easier to use. Weighing capacity tends to be bigger. Disadvantages: with repeated use, the spring in the scale can be permanently stretched. This tends to bring less accurate weights.
A beam balance - has a weight at one end, and it 'balances with the load placed on the other end. A spring balance - has a vertical spring attached to a scale - that shows the weight of an object suspended from it.
The spring balance with 0-10 newton has a soft spring that would extend lightly but the spring balance that measures forces up to 500 newton has a hard spring that would extend slowly.
'There are two types of weighing scales; spring scale and balance scale. The spring scale makes use of spring to detect how much weight is pulled whereas a balance scale utilizes the horizontal bar to compare unknown weight to a standardized weight.' There are no other names for the balance scale, but there are differen't types of scales.

A spring balance is a device wherein an object to be weighed is attached to the end of a helical spring. Gravity is a factor in using this calibrated scale.

It Measures force. Which is often 'weight'. A balance scale technically measures mass.
