Dynamometer (Product Code: SCL-583/01c) is a spring force meter that reads forces up to 5 N, with a scale marked both in newtons and in grams. Students hang a load from its hook, or pull an object with it, and read the force directly from the metal scale. This piece of physics lab equipment for school India classrooms is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Spring dynamometer with plastic support |
| Maximum force | 5 N |
| Newton scale divisions | 0.1 N |
| Gram scale divisions | 10 g |
| Scale | Metal scale with zero adjuster, reading in both grams and newtons |
| Body | Rectangular plastic body |
| Fittings | Suspension ring and load hook |
Hang the dynamometer from its suspension ring, set the pointer to zero with the adjuster, then attach a load to the hook: students read the weight in newtons and the equivalent in grams on the same scale, which makes the link between mass and weight very clear. Adding masses one at a time and recording each reading also gives a quick demonstration that the spring stretches in proportion to the force applied.
Held horizontally, it becomes the pulling gauge in a friction experiment kit India teachers set up with a wooden block on a board: drag the block at a steady speed, note the force, then change the surface or the load and compare. Always re-zero when changing between vertical and horizontal use, and never pull beyond 5 N, as overstretching can permanently alter the spring.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana, and known to customers as ScienceLab, manufactures the dynamometer for school and college physics laboratories. ScienceLab is the trading name of the company (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), which manufactures at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

What range does the dynamometer cover?
It reads up to a maximum of 5 N, with 0.1 N divisions on the newton scale and 10 g divisions on the gram scale.
Why does the scale show both grams and newtons?
The dual scale lets students see the weight of a load in newtons alongside the mass it corresponds to, which is useful when teaching the difference between the two.
How do I correct a reading that does not start at zero?
Use the zero adjuster on the metal scale with nothing on the hook, in the same orientation you will measure in.
How can the spring be kept accurate over time?
Do not exceed 5 N, do not let a load snap back against the stop, and store the dynamometer unloaded in a dry cupboard.
