SPRING BALANCE
A spring balance apparatus is simply a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced.
Spring balance can be used in physics and education as basic accelerometers, but its main uses are industrial, especially related to weighing heavy loads such as trucks, storage silos, and material carried on a conveyor belt. Spring balance are used when the accuracy afforded by other types of scales can be sacrificed for simplicity, cheapness, and robustness. A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring. Spring balances measure weights in Gram as well as Newton
The first spring balance in Britain was made around 1770 by Richard Salter of Bilston, near West Bromwich.[1] He and his nephews John & George founded the firm of George Salter & Co., still notable makers of scales and balances, who in 1838 patented the spring balance. They also applied the same spring balance principle to steam locomotive safety valves, replacing the earlier deadweight valves.[1]
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.
Thermometer, Spring Scale, and a Balance Scale ;-) Math Homework... Suckie! :P
The answer depends on the spring balance.
Yes
I think this means you pull with 20N at one end and 10 N at the other. That's a resultant force of 10N. The spring balance will accelerate.
check zero error of spring balance note the readings of spring balance at eye level
spring balance is used to measure the weight possessed by an object.
they are used inindustries
A spring balance is a weighing device that utilizes the relation between the applied load and the deformation of a spring. It is widely used commercially.
it is used to measure weight.

In my opinion, Least count of Spring Balance is very less to measure valuable metal like Gold.

A spring balance can be able to be calibrated for the accurate measurement of mass in the location they are used. The spring balances have markings on there face.
Robert Hooke invented the spring balance.
An equal-arm balance.
it is used to know the weight of only light objects...
