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?

A force meter is a device used to measure the amount of force applied to an object. It typically consists of a spring mechanism or electronic sensor that translates the force into a measurable value, usually in units such as Newtons or pounds. Force meters are commonly used in scientific experiments, engineering applications, and in fields such as physics and material testing.

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.


What is the force that causes to stretch the spring in a force meter?

The force that causes a spring in a force meter to stretch is the tension or pull applied to the spring by an external force. The spring resists this force by elongating, allowing the force meter to measure the magnitude of the force being applied.
