You have a metallic cube of side 3cm . If the density of the metal is about 8000kg m^-3 the best suited spring balance for determining the weight of the cube should have a range of ::
a) 0 - 100 g.wt
b) 0 - 200 g.wt
c) 0 - 250 g.wt
d) 0 - 500 g.wt
Explain why.

Solution

Volume of cube =(edge length)^3 =(3cm)^3 =27cm^3

density =8.0g/cm^3
mass = vol x density
=8.0 x 27 =216 g
hence,
range of mass is zero to 216
hence, spring slide between zero to 216

we see in the picture 0-250g.wt spring balance is the best for measuring this range.
