to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading.
OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.

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
Who invented spring balance?
Robert Hooke invented the spring balance.
Who is the inventor of spring balance?
Richard Salter invented the spring balance in 1760.
What is the difference between a beam balance and a spring balance?
a beam balance measures mass while a spring balance measures weight

Would a spring balance work on the moon?
A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.

How do you think a spring in a spring balance with a scale of 0-10 N compareswith the spring in a spring balance that measure forces up to 500 N?
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.
Function of spring balance?
spring balance is used to measure the weight possessed by an object.
What is a balance that measures weight?
a spring balance
Which balances is affected by the local force of gravity is it beam or analytical or spring balance?
spring balance
What is the function of spring balance?
The function of spring balance is to measure an object's weight. The force of gravity is opposed by the spring's extended force.
