Does a spring scale measure mass?

Answer 1

A spring scale in itself does not measure mass; rather, it measures the amount of force (in Newtons) required to move an object. However, you can find the mass, provided you know the acceleration (how much the object is changing speed). Example:

You use a spring scale on on object, and it gives you a measurement of 10 Newtons (N). To find the mass, you would use the following formula:

m = f/a

Where m is the mass (kilograms), f is the force (Newtons), and a is the acceleration (meters per second per second, or m/s2).

So, if the force is 10N, and the acceleration (for the purposes of this example) is 5m/s2, then:

m = 10/5

m = 2

So, the mass would be 2 kilograms (kg).

Answer 2

Weight is often measured on a spring scale, although it can also be measured by other means such as a balance scale.
