When a weight is suspended by a spring, the extension is proportional to the weight.Explain how this can be used to mark weights on a spring balance.

Answer»

Mark the pointer when no weight is hanging on it. Then mark the point when a constant weight is hanging on it. For example when we hang 1 kg on it a 2 cm extension is made. So we mark 1, 2, 3, 4 from the points marked first, i.e.,

2, 4, 6 and 8.

These distances are divided into 10 equal parts, then we can mark the points 1.1 kg and 2.4 kg etc.
