True or False: Spring balances work based on the principle of Hooke's Law.
Think about how springs react to different weights.
You have a spring balance that measures forces up to 10 N. If you hang a weight of 1 kg on it, what would the reading be?
Use the equation: weight = mass × gravitational acceleration.
Explain how the design of a spring balance can influence its accuracy in measuring force.
Consider the mechanics of the spring itself and environmental factors.
