How does a Mechanical Scale work? (Spring Scale)

Come learn how a Mechanical Scale works with 3D Animation! We'll also dive into some physics with Hooke's Law. ⬇more links below⬇ Floor Scale on Amazon: https://amzn.to/38pnhFK Hanging Scale on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3cchLY2 This video has been dubbed in over 20 languages, you can change the audio track language in the Settings menu (click the gear icon in the lower right hand corner of the video).

The Hanging Scale using a Rack and Pinion Gear and two springs to tell us how far much weight is on the scale. The Pinion Gear turns and affects which number the red pointer is going towards. This works because of Hooke's Law - which tells us the relationship between how much the spring stretches to how much force is used. However, if the Elastic Limit then the scale may no longer work properly. The floor scale works off of similar principles but the spring is a lot smaller and the weight is distributed across several supports. If the scales get off then they may need to be calibrated to adjust where the 'zero' mark is. #b3d #physics #howitworks
