Question #de249

Answer 1

35 N (2 s.f.)

Explanation:

The spring balance measures the gravitational force acting on the metal by creating an upward tension to counter the downward gravitational force.

Using F=ma, where a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 `m/s^2`), the force measured would be F = (3.6)(9.81) = 35N.
