Measuring Forces

Outcomes

Know a spring balance is used to measure force.
Be able to use a spring balance to measure force.
Know all forces are measured in Newtons (N).

A force meter is used to measure forces. Forces can be measured using a force meter. Force meters contain a spring connected to a metal hook. The spring stretches when a force is applied to the hook.

HOW DO WE MEASURE FORCES

ALL forces are measured in NEWTONS, the unit is abbreviated to N.
