Student measures the weight of a bag of bananas with a spring balance. Describe what is inside a spring balance and explain how it works.

A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity acting with force of an extending spring. May be used to determine mass as well as weight by recalibrating the scale. Some spring balances are available in gram or kilogram markings and are used to measure the mass of an object. Spring balances consist of a cylindrical tube with a spring inside. One end (at the top) is fixed to an adjuster which can be used to calibrate the device. The other end is attached to a hook on which you can hang masses etc.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

explanation:

increase masses, decrease separation
