A spring scale reads 20 newtons as it pulls a 5.0 kg mass across a table what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the mass on the spring scale?

If the speed of sliding along the table is constant, then there's no acceleration, and
the 'net' force on the mass and anywhere along the connection to the scale is zero.
At the point where the hook of the scale engages the mass, there is no acceleration.
The mass is pulling the hook backwards with a force of 20 newtons, and somebody's
finger is pulling the spring scale forward with a force of 20 newtons.
The mass or weight of the object sliding along on the table is irrelevant.

When a mass suspended from a spring is in its equilibrium position the upward force exerted by the spring is equal to the downward force exerted by gravity acting on the mass?
Yes true
A spring stretches 11 centimeters from its equilibrium position when an object weighing 29 newtons is hung from it. What is the spring constant?
The spring constant is 263.6363... repeating Newtons per metre.
What type of measurement is the force 10 newtons?
It's the measurement of a force of about 2.248 pounds. It could have been measuredby a spring balance, a dynamometer, or a bathroom scale.Note that although every force is a vector, the description "10 newtons" states onlyits magnitude, and leaves its direction for you to guess.
How does the spring balance work?
The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring
What is the 'N' on the spring scale?
The N on a spring scale should measure newtons but I'm not 100% sure.
What is the answer if A spring scale reads 20 N as it pulls a 5kg mass across a table. what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the mass on the spring scale?
It is 20 N.
What was the force that the spring exerted on the object?
Elastic Spring Force

What does a spring g scale measure?
Newtons
What units do you use on the spring scale?
The unit used on spring scales is 'Newtons.'
What unit does spring scale measure?
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
How does the spring balance work?
The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring
What would you use to measure newtons?
A Tubular Spring scale.
What is the 'N' on the spring scale?
The N on a spring scale should measure newtons but I'm not 100% sure.
What does the spring scale measure if measured in newtons?
I just read that you can weigh anything on it.
