G2.6.4-Forcemeters

To know that pushes and pulls are examples of forces and

that they can be measured with force meters.

Can you identify what is

happening in this picture,

whether this is a push or a

pull?

Harris and Eric both push

on a piece of foam , can

you tell who is pushing the

foam harder?

By looking at the picture we

understand that more force is

applied here .

But how can we measure the

force applied in pulling the

bus?

How do we measure force?

• We measure

  force in Newton

  (N). The unit is

  named after the

  famous scientist

  IENSTEIN

• We measure

  force in Newton

  (N). The unit is

  named after the

  famous scientist

  Sir Isaac

  Newton.

Can you guess what equipment

is this?

• This is a forcemeter or

  INESHTIM meter.

• This is a forcemeter or

  Newton meter.

A ................. is an equipment that measures the size of a force.

................... measure the size of pulls

Identify the equipment used to measure

the size of the force?

• Neonmeter / Isaac meter

• Forcemeter / Newton meter

How much force is applied in

the given forcemeter ?
