Summary Of: WeightA spring scale measures the weight of an object... A spring scale measures the weight of an object... measures the weight of an object... s weight is roughly proportional to its... weight means the same as... weight and mass are fundamentally different quantities... The distinction between mass and weight is unimportant for many practical purposes because the strength of gravity is very simliar everywhere... must be taken into account in high precision weight measurements that are intended to indirectly measure mass... when the weight of objects is used in commerce... and hence weight in some everyday senses... The weight force that we actually sense is not the downward force of gravity... and so apparent weight has the same magnitude as actual weight... which opposes the weight force and therefore generates a smaller normal... The experience of having no apparent weight is also known as... weight as the elevator starts to accelerate downwards... Weight is commonly measured using one of two methods... scales are always calibrated to read the weight an object would have at a nominal... compares the weight of an unknown object in one scale pan to the weight of standard masses in... and refers to the total weight of a product and its packaging... refers to the weight of the product alone... discounting the weight of its container or packaging... Thus the SI unit of the quantity weight used in this sense is the kilogram...Encyclodia Page On: Weight |
