"Hooke's Law" is used here - the relation that says that for a given spring, the extension (how much it stretches) is (more or less) proportional to the force.

What instrument can be used to measure a pulling or pushing force?
a spring balance is used to measure a pushing or pulling force.
What is the name of the instrument used for measuring force?
They are Force meter or Force gauge that use to measure the force. The meter may use spring of known elasticity or electro-magnet to balance and measure out the force.
What is the type of force measured by a grocery store spring scale is?
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
What is a spring balance use for?
to measure frictional force
What is a Tool that can measure the sizes of a force?
A forcemeter
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.
What is a spring scale used for?
A spring scale is used to measure force or mass
What is a spring scale for?
A spring scale is used to measure force or mass
What instrument can be used to measure a pulling or pushing force?
a spring balance is used to measure a pushing or pulling force.
What scale is used to measure force?
A spring scale
How do you use spring scale in a sentence?
spring scale is like we measure he measurethe mass tool used to measure force
How do you measure the force of attraction?
For example, the instrument to measure the force may have a spring. The elongation (extension) of the spring would be proportional to the force.
What to use to measure force?
A spring scaleYou use a dynamometer to measure force.
What is the name of the instrument used for measuring force?
They are Force meter or Force gauge that use to measure the force. The meter may use spring of known elasticity or electro-magnet to balance and measure out the force.
What other instruments are used to measure force besides a dyno?
A spring balance using a known mass will enable you to measure the force due to gravity [or acceleration].
What sort of scale is used to measure force?
A [Newton] spring scale, and the type of force measured is newtons. (Sometimes it is called a Newton spring scale because he invented it)
What is a spring scales unit of measurement?
Spring scales measure the the weight of an object or a pulling force. The scientific unit used is the Newton, the unit of force. In day to day use, the units used are often pounds, kilos, ounces, grams. It should be noted that a spring scale does not measure mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of a substance or object where as the weight is the downward force applied to an object due to gravity. The spring scale only ever measures force, never mass.
