What is the use of a spring scale?
Weighing things.
What two forces compress a spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces that compress a spring inside a weighing scale are the force of gravity acting on the person standing on the scale and the reaction force exerted by the spring in the scale to counteract the force of gravity. This compression of the spring is used to measure the weight of the person.
Who invented the spring weighing scale?
Robert Hooke (1635-1703). The experiments of Robert Hooke showed that the extension of an elastic spring is proportional to the force that is applied to the spring . The spring scale operates on this principle.
Can you use a spring scale to measure the weight of an orange?
A spring scale is rather a hit or miss manual weighing device. It should be taken a a guide, rather than an exact weight.
What form of energy is involved in weighing fruit on a spring scale?
The form of energy involved in weighing fruit on a spring scale is elastic potential energy. When the fruit is placed on the scale, it compresses the spring inside, storing potential energy. This energy is then used to counteract the force of gravity acting on the fruit, allowing the scale to indicate the weight.
What two forces compress a spring indside a weighing scale when you weigh your self?
Gravity and Support Force
What units are used when weighing with a spring scale?
Newton in SI Pounds in US Customery units system
What is some safety for a spring scale?
Some safety tips for using a spring scale include making sure the scale is on a stable surface, avoiding sudden or jerky movements when weighing objects, not exceeding the weight capacity of the scale, and handling the scale with care to prevent damage.
What is Another name for a balance scale?
'There are two types of weighing scales; spring scale and balance scale. The spring scale makes use of spring to detect how much weight is pulled whereas a balance scale utilizes the horizontal bar to compare unknown weight to a standardized weight.' There are no other names for the balance scale, but there are differen't types of scales.
Who invented weighing scale?
Philipp von Jolly invented the modern weighing scale in 1874.
What do you call weighing scale in Chinese?
Weighing scale is called "秤" (chéng) in Chinese.
What two forces compress the spring inside a weighing scale when you weigh yourself?
The two forces are your weight pushing down on the scale, creating a force that compresses the spring inside, and the spring's reaction force pushing back up against your weight to reach equilibrium and provide a measurement of your weight.
