Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

A spring scale measures weight because It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced. A spring scale cannot measure mass, only weight. hope that helped

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring
