Which balances is affected by the local force of gravity is it beam or analytical or spring balance?

spring balance


What is the difference between a beam balance and spring balance?

A beam balance - has a weight at one end, and it 'balances with the load placed on the other end. A spring balance - has a vertical spring attached to a scale - that shows the weight of an object suspended from it.


What do mass balances do that weighing scales don't?

Mass balances compare the force of gravity on two masses, while weighing scales use a spring and measure the force of gravity by studying the extension of the spring. A mass balance would give the same answer on the Moon, while the weighing scales would give an answer about a sixth of the correct value.


What instrument is used to find weight?

ScaleBalanceScales and balances.a spring balanceScales are very good at that job.Weighing scales


What are the differences between a real spring and an ideal spring?

Real Spring: has limited elasticity (will eventually come to a rest position)Ideal Spring: will not stop and will keep going from end to endAnother Answer:Well, not quite. Even an ideal spring has to contend with air friction which will eventually cause it to stop. The formal definition of an ideal spring is simply one that has no weight, no mass, and no damping losses. In order, however, for a spring to do something, it has to do work, even if that something is in a vacuum. I'm not certain that even an ideal spring in a vacuum would oscillate forever, because you are imparting work (energy) to the object the spring is attached to.
