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
Which forces are acting when you stretch a spring?
The force you are exerting to stretch it, and the restoring force of the spring.
Is spring force a contact force?
Yes.
Does the spring constant depend on applied force or elongation?
the relation between force (F) and elongation (x) is F = kx where k is the spring constant. The stiffer the spring, the higher the force needed to get a certain elongation; or, for a given force, the elongation will be less for a stiffer spring
What forces causes the spring to be stretched?
External force or you can say deformation force causes spring to stretch and restoring force is developed due to introduction of restoring strain in spring to restore in its original shape.
Spring scales measure in what units?
Spring scales can be calibrated in any desired unit of force. Some examples are: -- newton -- ounce -- pound -- ton -- stone
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 was the force that the spring exerted on the object?
Elastic Spring Force
How is a spring used to measured a force?
Spring was used to measure a force by the balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring.
Examples of vibratory motion?
A spring.
What are spring forces?
The energy stored in a spring when it is compressed or expanded. See related link.
What is the advantages of a spring?
the spring does not have a mechanical adavantage because the amout of force you put in to it is the amoot of force that the spring provides. The real mechanical is that you can time when the force is provided
Which forces are acting when you stretch a spring?
The force you are exerting to stretch it, and the restoring force of the spring.
Define spring constant What is its unit?
The rate or spring constant of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, law which states that the force a spring exerts is proportional to its extension.
Can you give some examples for Potentia energy?
Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.
Is spring force a contact force?
Yes.
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.
