AnswersDriveA force meter is used to measure forces. Forces can be measured using a force meter. Force meters contain a spring connected to a metal hook. The spring stretches when a force is applied to the hook.

Which instrument is used to measure?
A: A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. A simple barometer consists of a long glass tube (closed at one end, open at the other) filled with mercury and turned upside down into a container of mercury.

What is the name of the instrument used to measure force?
A force meter is used to measure forces. Forces can be measured using a force meter. Force meters contain a spring connected to a metal hook. The spring stretches when a force is applied to the hook.

What is the instrument used to measure weight?
Spring balances or spring scales calculate weight that is the product of mass into gravity (9.807 m/s2) on the force on a spring, whereas a balance or pair of scales using a balance beam compares masses by balancing the weight due to the mass of an object against the weight of one or more known masses.

What is the instrument used to measure time?
In the past, a common time measuring instrument was the sundial. Today, the usual measuring instruments for time are clocks and watches. For highly accurate measurement of time an atomic clock is used. Stop watches are also used to measure time in some sports.
6
Which instrument is used to measure humidity?
Humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air. A psychrometer is an example of a hygrometer. A psychrometer uses two thermometers to measure relative humidity; one measures the dry-bulb temperature and the other measures the wet-bulb temperature.
7
What tool is used to measure the mass of an object?
Measuring Mass with a Balance. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Scientists often measure mass with a balance. A type of balance called a triple beam balance is pictured in Figure below.

Which instrument can be used to measure volume?
If you were measuring out a volume of a liquid, did you use a beaker or a graduated cylinder? Look at the two figures above; if you were required to measure out 65 mL, what instrument would you most likely want to use? The graduated cylinder has graduations every 10 mL and then further graduations every 5 mL.

What is a measurement of energy?
Quantities of energy given in one unit can always be converted to any other unit of energy. For example, 1 gram calorie is equivalent to 4.186 joules, which is used to measure heat energy. Many people are familiar with kilogram calories, which are often used to measure the energy available in food.
10
What are the tools used to measure density?
The amount of space an object takes up. The units used to measure volume are centimeters and milliliters. The instruments used to measure volume are a ruler and a graduated cylinder. The definition of density is the amount of mass in one cubic centimeter.
11
What is the instrument used to measure capacity?
The jug's scale is in metric units (litres and millilitres) and imperial units (pints and fluid ounces). You can use the scale on this kettle to measure amount of water you want to boil. It has a capacity of 1.7 litres. You can use a bucket to measure large amounts of liquid.
12
How is a force measured?
Forces can be measured using a device called force meter. The unit of force is called the Newton. It is represented by the symbol N. A force of 2N is smaller than 7N. A force usually results from an interaction.
13
What is the instrument used to measure temperature?
One of the most common devices for measuring temperature is the glass thermometer. This consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or some other liquid, which acts as the working fluid.
14
How do you measure work?
Work, work, work. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work. A newton-meter is the same thing as a joule, so the units for work are the same as those for energy – joules.
15
What device is used to measure resistance?
An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance, the opposition to an electric current. Micro-ohmmeters (microhmmeter or microohmmeter) make low resistance measurements. Megohmmeters (also a trademarked device Megger) measure large values of resistance.
16
What is the instrument used to measure Newtons?
A Newton meter is just any device that measures force (it's called a "Newton meter" because a "Newton" is a unit of force). A spring balance is a device that measures force by measuring how much a string stretches when a force is applied to it. So, a spring balance is actually a type of Newton meter.
17
What is power measured in?
The dimension of power is energy divided by time. The SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other units of power include ergs per second (erg/s), horsepower (hp), metric horsepower (Pferdestärke (PS) or cheval vapeur (CV)), and foot-pounds per minute.
