Question

Gram weight (g wt) in a spring balance is used to measure mass or weight of a object?

Answer 1

Dear student,
One gram weight is the force exerted by a body of mass one gram due to gravity
So by definition
One gram weight = (1/1000)(9.81) = 9.81*10^-3 Newtons
(1/1000) is conversion of gram to kilograms and 9.81 is acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
Spring balance measure weight.
