Solution
A spring balance is an instrument consisting of a hook attached to the end of a spring, used for weighing objects. .
It works using the principle of Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position.. A spring scale cannot measure mass, only weight.
