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 exponent of meter?
The exponent is a characteristic of a number. A measurement unit does not have an exponent. Since a metre is a measurement unit, it does not have an exponent.
When converting a larger unit of measurement to a smaller unit you what?
Multiply
If 3.67 inches is in decimals how many in inches?
There is no such unit of measurement as a "decimal". The unit is therefore equal to itself in the same measurement.
What are examples of spring scales?

What units do you use on the spring scale?
The unit used on spring scales is 'Newtons.'
What are some examples of spring scale?
Some examples of spring scales include handheld luggage scales, kitchen scales, and fishing scales. These devices use the elasticity of a spring to measure the force exerted on them, providing a reading of the weight of an object.
What unit does spring scale measure?
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
Spring scales measure in what units?
Spring scales measure force, typically in units of newtons or pounds.
How Two newton spring scales negligible mass are suspended a shown in this diagram?
The spring scales are attached in series. The weight of the object will be distributed between the two spring scales, causing them to deflect. The sum of the deflections of both scales will give the total weight of the object. Since the mass of the spring scales is negligible, they will not significantly affect the measurement.
How are centimeters similar to the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales?
They are similar in so far as they are measurement scales, but that is about it! Centimetre is a unit in the International Standard system: neither Fahrenheit not Celsius are, a centimetre is an absolute unit: neither Fahrenheit not Celsius are.
What is the unit of measurement of hotness and coldness?
The measurement used for hotness and coldness are degrees. There are two scales used Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) with a little ball to the right of the measurement.
What unit of measurement is used to measure gravity of a spring scale?
The answer is Newtons. Like Sir Isaac Newton
Is joule a temperature scale?
No, the joule is a unit of measurement for energy in the International System of Units (SI). Temperature scales include Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
If you are pulling a yarn out of a cylindrical package how can you measure how much tension you are applying to pull the yarn?
If you wanted to know how many ounces or pounds you are applying you can use a spring scale that has a hook on the end of it. Here is a web site that has various spring scales for sale. There are other spring scales that have different ranges of force that can be used. http://www.arborsci.com/Products_Pages/Measurement/SpringScales.aspx
