It depends on spring energy or spring strength
What is the laboratory instrument that is a special scale that measures weight?
A spring scale measures weight.
Does a spring scale measure weight?
A spring scale is any device that uses the translation of a spring by force due to weight to discover the mass of an object. Let's translate that into easier words. A spring wants to hold its shape. But it is elastic, and if we apply a force to it, it changes shape. The amount of change in its shape will be proportional to the force applied to it. That's Hooke's law of elasticity. Nothing could be simpler. How does that apply? Jump with me and we'll see. By attaching a pointer or dial to a spring in a particular way, we can use the "coefficient of elasticity" of the spring to tell us how much gravity is pulling on something (which is force). We use that something to change the shape of the spring, and by indexing the movement of that spring, that is, setting up a scale or dial, we can use the device (after calibration) to give us a fairly accurate measure of the weight of an object. Most of us are familiar with the spring scale as the so-call "bathroom scale" which is kept secreted away in the water closet. It's a spring scale, and a useful device (though there seem to be more and more electronic interlopers). There are also small versions of the spring scale, too. We find them in home kitchens for weighing food or small objects, as well as in some fishing tackle boxes. Before the electronic age, these little scales were everywhere that there was commerce. Think of all the stuff that gets weighed from meat and produce at the store to the letters and packages at the mailing places. The spring scale used to do all that. And it did it pretty well, too. Links are provided to Wikipedia articles for further reading. A device used to determine the weight of an object (usually fairly light like 10 pounds or less). It uses a spring attached to a hook to work. The object to be weighed is hung from the hook, which compresses the spring. The amount that the spring is compressed is read on a scale that is graduated in pounds.
How do you measure mass using a triple beam balance?
Because it is a weight measuring instrument which is able to measure weights to an accuracy of about 5 to 10 gram. Spring Balances which are commonly for cooking measures,are not very sensitive or accurate. You can only get an accuracy within about 20 grams with spring balances.
What is the Difference between net weight and net net weight?
Unit net weight Weight (mass) of goods including any packing normally going with them to a buyer in a retail sale. Net net weight Weight (mass) of the goods themselves without any packing.
Jean held a spring scale with a weight hanging on its hook. She observed that the force on the scale was 3N. Why was the force greater than 0 N even though the weight was not moving?
The force of 3N was greater than 0N because the weight hanging on the hook was experiencing gravitational force pulling it downward. The scale measured this force as the tension in the spring due to the weight's mass, even though the weight itself was stationary.
What is the function of spring balance?
A spring balance is a device used to measure the weight of an object by utilizing Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to its displacement. The spring balance works by hanging the object from the hook at the bottom of the balance, causing the spring to stretch. The amount of stretch in the spring is directly related to the weight of the object, allowing for accurate weight measurements.
What is oscillation of a spring?
The oscillation of a spring is the motion that the spring makes when disturbed. Imagine holding the end of a spring and hanging a weight to the other end. If you do not disturb the weight, it will stay in a static position. However, when you pull down on the weight and let go, the spring "oscillates" up and down. The spring could also be compressed and released, creating the same effect. The up and down motion, which has a specific velocity and period relating to the spring constant k, is oscillation.
Why does the suspended spring stretch more at the top than at the bottom?
There is more force applied to the top of the spring than the bottom, because the whole spring is hanging from the top, but only a small part is hanging from near the bottom. The larger force stretches the spring more.
How can we calculate the weight of iron plates?
If actually weighing the plates is impractical, you could try hanging the plates from a spring, and testing to find the spring's k value, and recording the displacement of the object while hanging from the spring, and use that to calculate the force on the plate, which equals mg. if the density is known, you could immerse the plates in something to find their volume and then calculate their weight from that. or, you could try and pull them with a force meter, taking two data points so that you can solve for the both the friction coefficient and weight.
How is clock tower movement possible without electricity?
The source of energy is the hanging weight(s) in the tower....or a wound spring if a more modern mechanism is used. Think of a Grandfather Clock. It is "wound" by pulling on a chain which raises the hanging weight(s) in the body of the clock. The force of gravity pulling on the weights provides the energy to run the clock. Note however, that you actually input the energy initially, when you pulled on the chain to raise the weight. That rise increased the weight's Potential Energy, which is then slowly converted back to Kinetic Energy as the weight slowly is lowered by the Clockwork mechanism.
How far does the pointer move when 4 unites of weight on thr spring?
The movement of the pointer on a spring scale due to a weight depends on the spring constant (k) and the weight applied. According to Hooke's Law, the displacement (x) is given by the formula ( x = \frac{F}{k} ), where ( F ) is the force applied (equal to the weight in this case). If the spring constant is known, you can calculate the displacement by substituting the weight (in this case, 4 units) into the formula. Without the spring constant, the exact movement cannot be determined.
How is the spring rate measured on a vehicle?
By how much weight it takes to compress the spring over a given distance. But without taking the spring out of the car, I'm not sure sorry. A good question though.
How does the tension in the rope compare to the weight of the hanging block?
The tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the hanging block when the block is stationary and not accelerating.
Hanging weight is 810lbs how much did cow weigh live?
Assuming the hanging weight represents around 60% of the live weight of the cow, the live weight would be approximately 1350 lbs.
What size nails should I use for hanging pictures?
For hanging pictures, use nails that are 1.5 to 2 inches in length. These nails are typically strong enough to support the weight of most pictures without damaging the wall.
What are the best no damage wall hangers for hanging pictures and shelves securely without causing any damage to the walls?
The best no damage wall hangers for hanging pictures and shelves securely without causing any damage to the walls are adhesive hooks, removable adhesive strips, and picture hanging strips. These products can hold a significant amount of weight and are easy to remove without leaving any marks or residue on the walls.
