What are some examples of spring scale?

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.


How Two newton spring scales negligible mass are suspended a shown in this diagram?

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.

Why do we use a spring scale to measure?

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.
