6 When you first hang something on a force meter the

forces are balanced so the spring begins to stretch. As the
spring stretches it produces a bigger force.

Eventually the forces are balanced, and the force meter

7 The weight will be stronger than the force from

the spring, so the mass will move downwards.
When the spring has stretched further, the forces
will be balanced again and the force meter will
show the new weight.
