A spring balance is a simple device used to measure force or weight by utilizing the principle of Hooke's Law. It consists of a spring fixed at one end and a hook or attachment at the other end where an object is suspended. When an object is hung from the hook, the spring stretches in proportion to the weight of the object. The amount of stretch is indicated on a calibrated scale, allowing the user to determine the weight or force being applied.
Key Features of a Spring Balance:
Spring: The core element, which deforms under the influence of force (weight).
Scale: A graduated scale (in Newtons or grams) that shows the amount of force exerted based on how much the spring stretches.
Hook: The part where the object is hung or attached.
