How to Measure Weight Using a Force Meter?

Published in Force Measurement 1 min read

To measure weight using a force meter (also known as a newton meter), follow these simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Setup:

    • Hook the Object: Attach the object you want to weigh securely to the hook of the force meter (newton meter). As per the reference provided, the force meter and newton meter are the same device.
  2. Position for Measurement:

    • Carefully Lift: Gently raise the object and the force meter together, allowing the object to hang freely.
  3. Take the Reading:

    • Wait for Stability: Allow the object to become still and the reading on the force meter to stabilize. Once the needle or digital display stops fluctuating, you will have your weight measurement.

By following these steps, you can accurately measure the weight of an object using a force meter. The reading on the meter represents the gravitational force acting on the object, which is its weight.
