Question

Explain structure and function of spring balance

Answer 1

A spring balance has a spring attached at one end and a hook at the other. The hook is used to attach an object. This device works on the principle of Hooke’s law.

This balance is used for weighing heavy loads like storage silos, trucks and any material that is carried using a conveyor belt. It measures an object’s weight by resisting the force of gravity that acts with the force of a spring that has been extended.
