Previous Next Mass on a Scale # 1G10.30
Description: Hanging of masses on a spring scale show the reaction of the scale to mass times the acceleration of gravity. Instructions: Hang different masses on a spring scale and discuss the reaction. Hazards: Depending on the scale used (and therefore the ranges of masses to use) be careful not to drop the masses on your feet. Parts: Newton Meter set of hooked masses Purchased/Built: built Quant. in Demo Room: 2 Demo References Hilton M-8a Hang a mass on a spring scale to show reaction of the scale to mg. Freier and Anderson Mf-1 Suspend a mass from a spring balance and then cut the string.
