A Tubular Spring scale.
What does a spring scale measure?
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.
How do you make a forcemeter out of household objects?
You can make a simple forcemeter using a spring scale, rubber bands, a wooden stick, and a hook. Attach the hook to the spring scale, then use rubber bands to connect the hook to the wooden stick. Apply force to the stick, and the spring scale will measure the force exerted.
What is a spring scale used for?
A spring scale is used to measure the weight of an object by the stretching of a spring. It is commonly used in schools, laboratories, and households to measure the force exerted by an object due to gravity.
How is weight measured?
