How many inches is a stapler?
US customary: inches (in.) SI (metric): decimeters (dm) if allowed, otherwise centimeters (cm) I just took out my stapler and it measured about 6.5 in. or about 17 cm or 1.7 dm
What is the difference between a swingline stapler and other types of staplers?
The major difference is that Swingline staplers have staples that are only designed for used with this type of stapler. Additionally, a Swingline stapler uses heavy-duty staples that have a minimum of 135,000 PSI wire for greater tensile strength.
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 much a 5-pound weight would stretch the spring?
It depends on spring energy or spring strength
Why is there a spring in a stapler?
It is to hold the stapler from drop down on the floor or to let's the stapler thing not to drop
How can you fix a stapler with a broken spring?
you can't
What is the function of a stapler remover?

What is the function of stapler?
The function of a stapler is to secure two or more pieces of paper together. However, staplers also can be used to secure a piece of paper onto a board.
What material is used to make a stapler?
A stapler is composed of mostly aluminum sheet metal, cut and pressed to function, and plastic injection molds.
How does a stapler function as a lever?
The stapler has its top and bottom joined at the hinge. Pressure applied on the top forces it against the bottom as the staple is pushed out. There is no mechanical advantage as with similar devices, such as the nutcracker.

What is the function of spring balance?
The function of spring balance is to measure an object's weight. The force of gravity is opposed by the spring's extended force.

The weight of a stapler can vary from a few ounces for a small stapler to 5 pounds or more for a electrically powered stapler.
