How does a spring balance work?
to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading. OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.
Why does a spring balance measure weigth instead of mass?
A spring balance measures weight because it relies on the force of gravity acting on the object being weighed. The spring inside the balance extends or compresses based on the gravitational force acting on the object, providing a measure of the weight of the object. To measure mass, a balance that compares gravitational force with a known reference mass is needed.
What is a spring balance use for?
A spring balance is used to measure the weight of an object by the extension or compression of a spring due to the force exerted on it. It is commonly used in applications such as weighing groceries, luggage, and other items.
What are 2 ways to measure force?
Two ways to measure force are using a spring balance, which relies on Hooke's Law to measure the extension of a spring when a force is applied, and using a force plate, which measures the force exerted on it by an object standing or jumping on it.
What is used to measure a force needed to pull a block across a tabletop?
A spring scale can be used to measure the force needed to pull a block across a tabletop. By attaching the spring scale to the block and pulling it horizontally, you can measure the force required to overcome friction and move the block.
How is a spring used to measured a force?
Spring was used to measure a force by the balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring.
You would use this to measure the size of a force 10 words?
A force meter or spring balance can measure force magnitude.

What is the function of spring balance?
A spring balance is a device used to measure the weight of an object by utilizing Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to its displacement. The spring balance works by hanging the object from the hook at the bottom of the balance, causing the spring to stretch. The amount of stretch in the spring is directly related to the weight of the object, allowing for accurate weight measurements.

Does spring balance measure weight or mass?
A spring balance measures weight, which is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Mass, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains and remains constant regardless of the gravitational force.
What is compression spring balance function?
A compression spring balance is a device that uses the mechanical force of a spring to measure weight or force. As a load is applied, the spring compresses or extends, and this change in length is proportional to the force being measured. The amount of compression corresponds to the weight of the object being weighed.
What does spring balance mean?
A spring balance is a device used to measure the weight of an object by the tension force exerted on a spring when an object is suspended from it. It typically consists of a spring connected to a hook or mechanism from which objects can be hung to measure their weight in units such as grams or Newtons.
Aside from the spring balance could you give another instrument that can measure force?
a bathroom scale
