A mass of 4 kg stretches a spring 6 cm what is the mass of an object which streches the spring 9 cm?
Islandgirl77
Hooke's law predicts 1.5 cm. This may or may not be true of a real spring.

What is compression spring balance function?
to know the mass of a object
Can mass of an object be measured by a beam balance?
A balance allows the mass of an object to be found by comparison with a standard mass. The device is in balance when the objects are of equal mass, so it does not depend on the right value of gravity, as a spring 'balance' does.
How do you calculate velocity of a box attached to a spring?
some basic physics will tell you that the mass of the box times acceleration due to gravity times the height of the box above the ground, minus the force of the spring or the spring constant times the distance the spring stretches will equal .5 times the mass of the box times the velocity squared mgh-kx=.5mv2
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
What are the advantages and of spring balance?
Advantages: lighter, more compact, and easier to use. Weighing capacity tends to be bigger. Disadvantages: with repeated use, the spring in the scale can be permanently stretched. This tends to bring less accurate weights.
A 75 kg mass attached to a vertical spring stretches the spring 30 m what is the spring constant?
24.5 newtons per meter
Suggest suitable Experiments to find spring constant of a helical spring?
Connect a mass to the bottom of the spring. (depending on the spring size, the mass will vary, the larger the spring the greater the mass u can use) Suppose you use a 100 g mass on a spring, measure the amount by which it stretches and record the data. Use hooke law to figure out the constant of the spring. K = m.g/x m = mass, g =gravity, x = stretch
How does a spring balance measure the mass of an object?
A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.

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.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it isn on earth but the objects weight different?
Because mass is conserved, which means it stays the same wherever the object goes. The weight is the force that the Earth attracts the object with, which changes when the object goes away from the Earth. Mass is measured by a balance, a pair of scales, where one mass is compared with another. Weight is measured by a spring balance, where the force of attraction by the Earth is measured by how much it extends a spring.
How do you calculate velocity of a box attached to a spring?
some basic physics will tell you that the mass of the box times acceleration due to gravity times the height of the box above the ground, minus the force of the spring or the spring constant times the distance the spring stretches will equal .5 times the mass of the box times the velocity squared mgh-kx=.5mv2
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.
How you could find the mass and weight of an object on earth and the mass and weight of the same object on the moon?
Use a balance with standard masses to find the mass. You need only find the mass at one of the two locations. Find the weight using a spring balance.
What is spring balanced?
A spring balance is used to measure the weight and the mass of an object, it's usually seen in physics, as well as in our daily life (eg in schools)
Why is it that the more mass added to the end of a suspended spring the greater the time period?
A spring stretches because the coiled spring stores potential energy. This energy is released as the spring is stretched and returns to its original shape. Over a period of time, the spring becomes worn and loses the potential energy.
