A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then
have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the
value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.

What is compression spring balance function?
to know the mass of a object
Does spring balance measure weight or mass?
Weight is always measured on Spring Balance, however Mass is represented by Beam Balance.
How are balance and mass related?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object.
Can you measure mass using spring balance?
Yes
What is spring balanced?
A spring balance is used to measure the weight and the mass of an object, it's usually seen in physics, as well as in our daily life (eg in schools)
Can you use a triple beam balance to measure the volume of an object?
No, a triple balance beam will measure the mass of an object but not its volume.
Can mass of an object be measured by a beam balance?
A balance allows the mass of an object to be found by comparison with a standard mass. The device is in balance when the objects are of equal mass, so it does not depend on the right value of gravity, as a spring 'balance' does.
How do you measure the mass of an object that is irregularly shaped?
You compare its mass with something of known mass. In everyday earthbound conditions, this would mean weighing it on a set of weighing scales or on a spring balance.
What does a balace scale measure?
Balances mainly measure mass in grams. Mass. By comparing the mass of an object to a known mass. A balance measures mass or more accurately the normal force of an object.
What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
What are the instruments you use to measure mass and weight of an object?
Balances are the most common method of measuring mass. These are instruments that use a counterweight to find the weight of something else.Some instruments for measuring mass are; for example; physical balance, analytical balance, and other devices.Refer to link below for more information.
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.
