A spring scale, spring balance or newton meter is a type of mechanical force gauge or weighing scale. It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. [ 1 ] It works in accordance with Hooke's Law , which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with ...
The blue arm controls the two parallel arms (red) that make up the upper arm. The other spring puts pull force on the other blue arm. This arm controls the forearm (magenta). The two springs can be the same size; one spring has to lift more weight but is more vertical. The other spring lifts less weight but is more horizontal.
The counterweight rail car was equipped with a spring-loaded safety stop that would automatically stop the car if the cable broke. [2] The timber-lined counterweight tunnel was set at a constant grade of 13.5%, aside from the top and bottom ends, and has a cross-section of 5 ft (1.5 m) wide by 4 ft (1.2 m) tall. [2]
The balance (also balance scale, beam balance and laboratory balance) was the first mass measuring instrument invented. [1] In its traditional form, it consists of a pivoted horizontal lever with arms of equal length – the beam or tron – and a weighing pan [ 10 ] suspended from each arm (hence the plural name " scales " for a weighing ...

A ratchet consists of a round gear or a linear rack with teeth, and a pivoting, spring-loaded finger called a pawl (or click, in clocks and watches [1] [2]) that engages the teeth. The teeth are uniform but are usually asymmetrical, with each tooth having a moderate slope on one edge and a much steeper slope on the other edge.
Adding stability work with a balance board ups your balance, coordination, injury rehab, and core strength. Here are the best balance boards, per trainers.
A Jolly balance from 1913. The Jolly balance is an instrument for determining specific gravities. Invented by the German physicist Philipp von Jolly in 1864, [1] it consists of a spring fastened at the top to a movable arm. At the lower end, the spring is provided with two small pans, one suspended beneath the other.
