The spring stretches when pulling force acts on it. The greater the force, the extension of the spring. The spring is attached to a pointer, which indicates the amount of force exerted on the spring.
A triple beam balance is a scale which measures mass by comparing weight.Regular scales also measure weight, and a spring scale measures weight (acceleration by gravity) in newtons.
Yes, a spring scale measures weight. We might also say it measures mass, but a spring scale only works because of gravity, and weight is a function of mass and gravity.
A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational...
