Because over a certain limited range, a carefully manufactured and very expensive
spring will stretch exactly in proportion to the magnitude of the force that's causing
it to stretch, and the magnitude of the force can be accurately determined simply by
observing and measuring the length of the stretch.

What is a force meter?
Force is measured in newtons (N). It represents the force of 1 kilogram of mass being accelerated one meter per second per second.
Meter is to distance as newton is to?
Meter : Distance = Newton : Force
What is another name for a spring scale?
It depends on the use to which it is being put. It might be fishing scales or a luggage scale, or a force meter.
What is kilopasl in pressure sense?
1 Pascal of pressure = 1 newton of force on 1 square meter of area1 kilopascal = 1,000 newtons of force on 1 square meter, or 1 newton of force on 0.001 square meter, etc.
What is the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter is?
The force is 1 newton. The work done is 1 newton-meter = 1 joule.
What force is measured with a spring force?
newton meter
What is the equipment used for measuring force?
A newton meter is used to measure force.
What is a force meter?
Force is measured in newtons (N). It represents the force of 1 kilogram of mass being accelerated one meter per second per second.
What are force meters?
A force meter, also known as a Newton meter, is a tool for measuring the amount of Newtons a force is. (Forces are measured in Newtons.) It consists of a tube with measures on the side and a spring with a hook on the end. You place a weight on the hook and the spring will stretch accordingly, letting you take a reading of the mass in Newtons.
Meter is to distance as newton is to?
Meter : Distance = Newton : Force
Is newton meter is used to measure the force?
Newton meter is a measure of energy, E= fd, Energy equals .Newton (force) times meter(distance)
What is a newton balance newtonmter?
A Newton meter is just any device that measure force. The reason it is called a Newton meter is because Newton is a unit of force.
What is a newton meter for?
A newton metre is the SI unit for torque, symbol Nm, and is also technically equivalent to the joule. A newton meter is a term sometimes used to reference a spring scale, which uses a spring and Hooke's law to measure the force exerted in a linear direction. For purposes of avoiding confusion, using the term 'spring scale' is better.

How you measure force?
With a newton-meter.
What would you use to measure the size of force?
To measure the size of a force you could use a joule, as it's a newton meter (ba-dump ching!). Assuming this was a serious question and not a setup for the newton meter joke, forces are generally measured using a spring scale.
What do you use to measure a force?
''We mesure'' force by ''using force '''meter ( also known as newton meter)'''''
