How does the spring balance work?

The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring


What does the area under a force-extension graph represent?

The area under a graph of force against distance (or extension, if it's a spring) represents the work done by that force. Since it sounds like you're talking about a spring, you should know that the area would represent the work done to stretch the spring that distance, and also represents the amount of elastic potential energy contained by the spring.


What is the relationship between the extension of the spring and the weight hung on it?

when the extension of the spring increases the weight hung on it also increases


What is the relationship between the force and the extension of a spring?

The relationship is Hooke's Law: the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied.
