To measure mass.
The unit used on spring scales is 'Newtons.'
Some examples of spring scales include handheld luggage scales, kitchen scales, and fishing scales. These devices use the elasticity of a spring to measure the force exerted on them, providing a reading of the weight of an object.
Spring scales are commonly used to measure weight because they operate based on Hooke's law which states that the force required to extend or compress a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. This makes them ideal for measuring weight as the force exerted on the spring by an object can be directly correlated to its weight. Additionally, spring scales are generally portable, easy to use, and cost-effective.
You would use a scale to measure the mass of an object. Scales come in various types, such as balance scales, spring scales, or digital scales, and are commonly used in laboratories, kitchens, and industries to determine the weight of objects.
The spring scales are attached in series. The weight of the object will be distributed between the two spring scales, causing them to deflect. The sum of the deflections of both scales will give the total weight of the object. Since the mass of the spring scales is negligible, they will not significantly affect the measurement.

Spring scales can be calibrated in any desired unit of force. Some examples are: -- newton -- ounce -- pound -- ton -- stone
Some devices used for measuring weight include weighing scales, balance scales, spring scales, and electronic scales. These devices typically display weight in units such as pounds, kilograms, or grams.
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
It depends on the use to which it is being put. It might be fishing scales or a luggage scale, or a force meter.
