Question

What are the common error while using a spring balance.

Answer 1

Dear Student

The factors that can affect the accuracy of measurement in a spring balance are -

• carefully hold the spring balance and make sure it remains accurate. Since, any disruption in the same may cause an error in the reading.
• environmental factors, like vibrations, changes in temperature, electronic noise, etc., may also disrupt the readings
• instrument drift which are generally observed. Though the amount of drift is not a concern but they may lead to errors.
• personal errors arise due to carelessness while taking the measurement, etc.
