Finding spring balance readings (Newtons) - Physics Forums
Oct 2, 2007 · The spring balance reading in Newtons can be found by hanging an object on the spring and reading the value on the scale. The scale is marked with numbers representing the force in Newtons, and the number where the spring is stretched to is the reading in Newtons. 2.
Solving Basic Tension Problems: Newton Readings on Calibrated …
Sep 11, 2008 · The correct answers for the tension in each case are 10N, 0N, 5N, and 49.05N respectively. In the figure below, the objects are attached to spring balances calibrated in Newtons. Give the readings of the balances in each case, assuming that the strings are massless and the incline is frictionless. Im kinda confuse on what the question ask but ...
Spring balance analysis from a system point of view - Physics Forums
Oct 23, 2023 · Hi, I was thinking about a simple scenario in the framework of Newton (classic) mechanics. Take a spring scale/balance fixed at one end (wall) with a body attached to the other end's hook. From an analysis point of view we can consider as "system" the spring scale + the wall + the body. Then...
Understanding Weight and Acceleration in a Bird's Flight Using …
Mar 23, 2011 · In summary, a bird with a mass of 0.5 kg is sitting in a closed cage on a spring balance. The spring balance records a weight of 25 N. When the bird starts flapping its wings and accelerating upward at 2 m/s^2, the spring balance will still record a weight of 25 N due to the conservation of mass.
Another homework of Newton's law of motion - Physics Forums
Aug 12, 2010 · A proud angler hangs her catch from a spring balance, which is supported from the roof of an elevator. a.) if the elevator has an upward acceleration of 2.45m/s 2 and the balance reads 50.0N, what is the true weight of the fish? b.) Under what circumstances will the balance read 30.0N? c.) What will the balance read if the cable breaks? given ...
Spring Balance: Mass or Weight? Clearing Out Confusion - Physics …
Dec 2, 2010 · A spring balance, also known as a spring scale, is a type of weighing scale that measures the weight or mass of an object by the force of a spring. It works on the principle of Hooke's law, which states that the force applied by a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched or compressed. 2.
What are the steps for solving Archimede's principle problems?
May 28, 2010 · Homework Statement Block A hangs by a cord from spring balance D and is submerged in a liquid C contained in beaker B. The mass of the beaker is 1.00 kg; the mass of the liquid is 1.80 kg. Balance D reads 3.50 kg, and balance E reads 7.50 kg. The volume of block A is 3.80 × 10-3 m3. (a)...
Newton's second law and Springs - Physics Forums
Jun 24, 2011 · This change in length of the spring is directly proportional to the force applied, following Newton's second law. 3. What is the mathematical equation for Newton's second law? The mathematical equation for Newton's second law is F=ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration. 4.
Exploring Weight Measurement: Understanding a Spring Scale …
Aug 19, 2005 · In summary, if two 100-N weights are attached to a horizontal spring scale, the scale will read 200 N. This is because the weights are providing equal and opposite forces, causing the spring to stretch and read the combined force of 200 N. This is assuming the scale is a simple, graduated spring that stretches by the gravitational force on a mass.
What Angle \(\phi\) Balances the Pulley in Static Equilibrium?
Oct 31, 2010 · The spring constant, which is a measure of the stiffness of a spring, affects static equilibrium by determining how much force is required to displace the spring from its resting position. A higher spring constant means that more force is needed to achieve static equilibrium, while a lower spring constant requires less force. 5.
