spring balance

Instrument for measuring weight that relates the weight of an object to the extent to which it stretches or compresses a vertical spring. According to Hooke's law, the extension or compression will be directly proportional to the weight, providing that the spring is not overstretched. A pointer attached to the spring indicates the weight on a scale, which may be calibrated in newtons (the SI unit of force) for physics experiments, or in grams, kilograms, or pounds (units of mass) for everyday use.
