What units is temperature in Thailand?
Teperature is measure in degrees - on various scales - internationally.
What lab equipment would you use to measure?
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
What would you use to measure these things Weight time height?
You could measure weight with a spring scale, unless you mean mass, which you would measure with a laboratory balance. You would measure time with a stop watch, and height with a meter stick.
How do you measure food in grams?
on scales, you can purchase scales at office depot or officemax.
What two scales are used to measure the intensity and magnitude of earthquakes?
Mercalli and Richter scales
What unit does spring scale measure?
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
What units do you use on the spring scale?
The unit used on spring scales is 'Newtons.'
What are spring scales use for?
To measure mass.
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.

What is the type of force measured by a grocery store spring scale is?
Spring scales measure the force of gravity.
What does the stretch of a spring scale measures?
When you pull on the scale you stretch the spring the pointer on the scales moves as you pull to measure the force you are using you have to be able to lift or pull on the spring scale
What lab equipment would you use to measure?
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
What type of balances or scales measure mass?
The type of balances that measure mass is usually the triple beam balance, you move the weights around units almost like the s just the right amount. {its almost like the measuring scales that doctors use to measure your weight, but tinyer!}
What kind of scale is used to measure weight?
Scales used to measure weight include: * Spring scale - measures the increased length of a spring as it stretches * Balance scale - uses a horizontal lever to compare unknown weights to that of known weights
What do mass balances do that weighing scales don't?
Mass balances compare the force of gravity on two masses, while weighing scales use a spring and measure the force of gravity by studying the extension of the spring. A mass balance would give the same answer on the Moon, while the weighing scales would give an answer about a sixth of the correct value.
What does a spring scales do?
it weights objects
