If you wanted to know how many ounces or pounds you are applying you can use a spring scale that has a hook on the end of it.
Here is a web site that has various spring scales for sale. There are other spring scales that have different ranges of force that can be used.

a spring balance is used to measure a pushing or pulling force.

Tensile (pulling) force
Traction involves applying a pulling force on a fracture in order to restore normal alignment.
It's what we have learned to call "weight".
tell the manager
True
Most folks call that the object's weight.
its tensile strength :P
applying a force to an object, (pushing, pulling, hitting, kicking etc.) can change its speed, its direction and its shape.
Yes. Applying any brake while moving will wear the friction material.
Weight is the measure of the force with which the Earth's gravity is pulling an object to its center. Since it is a measure of force, it is often expressed in Newtons.
