We can measure a force by the effect it causes. The greater the deformation, the stretch of the rubber band, the greater the force.

To measure forces more accurately, we use special instruments, called dynamometers. Dynamometers do not use a rubber band, but a spring.

The pencil case has the greatest weight of all the objects in the photograph, which is why the spring from which it hangs has been stretched the most.

The springs in the picture are the same. Which of the bodies you see has the greater weight? Can you explain your answer?
