Force....pressure=force/area, so if you transferred to one foot on the scale it would read half your weight, but that is not the case because it reads force so on one foot the reading is the same
if the weight is distrubted equally then the scale will read 2 weights worth
The spring scale will read the woman's actual weight, which is 59 kg. Since the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed, there is no net force acting on the woman, so the spring scale will measure her true weight.
put it on a scale and whatever number comes up is the weight of the pumpkin.
To read a weighing scale, simply step on it and wait for the display to stabilize. The number shown on the display is your current weight.
To use a Newton spring scale, hang the object you want to measure from the hook on the bottom of the scale. Read the value where the pointer on the scale stops, which is the force exerted by the object in Newtons. Make sure to hold the scale vertically and at eye level for accurate readings.
if the weight is distrubted equally then the scale will read 2 weights worth
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.
The spring scale will read the woman's actual weight, which is 59 kg. Since the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed, there is no net force acting on the woman, so the spring scale will measure her true weight.
"Scales show an estimate of your mass based on the force your body exerts on it; and to find out how much force your body is exerting on the scales, multiply by 9.8 (to convert kg into Newtons)." from http://www.mathsisfun.com/measure/weight-mass.html
yes a scale reads a force. called the normal force which on a flat surface equals your mass times gravity
To read a hospital scale, step onto the scale and wait for the digital display to show your weight. Make sure to stand still with equal weight distribution on both feet for an accurate reading. Record the weight displayed on the scale.
To read scales accurately for measuring weight, ensure the scale is on a flat surface, zero it out before use, stand still on the scale, and read the measurement displayed.
You just stand on it & read weight.

37.3 newtons is a weight. It's the weight on earth of a mass of about 3.8 kilograms.If you put the same mass on an American scale, the scale would read about 8.39 pounds.That's a force of 37.3 newtons. The only difference is where different countries decide topaint the marks on their scales.
To accurately read grams on a scale, place the object on the scale and wait for the reading to stabilize. Ensure the scale is set to grams and read the number displayed on the screen. This number represents the weight of the object in grams.
