How is weight measured?
Diamonds, like all gemstones, are weighed in carats.
What does a spring scale measure?
A spring scale measures the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It does this by stretching a spring based on the weight of the object, which can then be read as a measure of the force in units such as pounds or newtons.
Is measured using a spring scale mass or weight?
Weight. Actually, a spring balance measures the downward force form a mass under the local gravitational acceleration, e.g. any mass would weigh less on the moon (about one sixth of that on earth.)
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
A spring scale measures force in newtons. It works based on Hooke's law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension or compression of the spring. The scale calculates the amount of force required to extend or compress the spring.
What is a spring scale used to measure?
A spring scale measures weight. It is dependent on the gravity, and so one's weight in space, or on the moon would be different based on the spring scale. A balance measures mass, and since the standards in a balance are the same no matter what the gravity is, then the mass remains constant. However, for all practical purposes, the gravity on earth is constant so the weight and mass of the objects would be the same.
Is measured using spring scale?
Weight is measured using a spring scale, which operates on the principle of Hooke's law that the force exerted on the spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. The spring scale measures weight by the amount of force needed to stretch the spring within the scale.
Do a spring scale measures mass?
Weight is the property measured by a spring scale. That is Mass X Acceleration.
What measured weight and mass?
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of another.Mass is measured by physical balance.Weight is measured by a spring balance.
What is the type of force measured by a grocery store spring scale is?
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
What is the weight in elevator with spring scale when it go up?
If the elevator is moving uniformly, the spring scale should record the same weight when it's going up as it does when it's standing still.If the elevator is accelerating (speeding up or slowing down), the spring scale will record a greater or lesser weight respectively.
When a metallic object attached to a spring scale is lowered into water the object appears to?
lose weight because water exerts an upward buoyant force on the object, reducing the effective weight measured by the spring scale.
What is a instrument to measure the weight?
The most common ways to measure weight are: # a force meter, also called a "weight scale" or "weigh scale", where the weight being measured is used to compress a spring by a measurable amount, or # a balance, where the effect of gravity on one pan/arm is compared to an assemblage of known mass(es) on an opposing arm(s).
How is weight measured?
Diamonds, like all gemstones, are weighed in carats.
What does spring scale measures?
A spring scale measures forces, such as weight or tension.
Which physical would you measure with a spring scale?
You would measure weight.
What is weight measured on?
A scale or a balance
How does a spring scale measure weight?
A spring scale measures weight by measuring the force necessary to stretch or compress a spring in the device. The more the spring stretches or compresses when an object is hung from it, the greater the force or weight of the object. This force is then translated into a weight reading on the scale.
