Jan 7, 2025 · The discussion centers on the mechanics of spring scales and their readings under various conditions. When two equal weights of 100 N are suspended, the middle scale reads …

Jun 29, 2008 · The spring scale reads 100N when two 100N weights are attached, due to the principles of static equilibrium and Newton's third law. Each weight exerts a force of 100N, but …

Dec 2, 2010 · The discussion clarifies the distinction between mass and weight as measured by spring balances. A spring balance measures weight based on the force exerted by gravity, …

Feb 17, 2008 · A spring scale (e.g., the typical bathroom scale) comes close to measuring your weight (within about 0.3% on the Earth). What a spring scale measures is the normal force …

Aug 19, 2005 · The discussion clarifies that a horizontal spring scale, when two 100-N weights are attached at either end, will read 100 N, not 200 N. This is due to the nature of tension in the …

Mar 6, 2013 · Learn about the differences between mass and weight Explore unit conversion techniques between force and mass Review examples of similar physics problems involving …

Dec 6, 2021 · The discussion centers on the mechanics of a spring scale under tension, specifically addressing why a spring scale reading is 100 N when both ends are pulled with …

Figure 1. In (a), (C), and (d), the spring scale’s weight acts as part of the force raising the load. Therefore, the scale must be used upside down so that it will register its own weight.

Nov 4, 2006 · The discussion focuses on calculating the impact of a 1.5kg crate falling from a height of 2.0m onto a spring scale with a spring constant of 1.5 X 10^5 N/m. The potential …

Sep 21, 2014 · The physics problem involves a 20-kg fish weighed using two spring scales with negligible weight. The correct answer is that each scale will read 10 kg, as the total weight is …
