Spring - Slinky 75mm x 50mm L

This lightweight spring balance is ideal for introducing younger students to the principles of force and mass. With a maximum capacity of 100g (1 Newton), this dual-calibrated balance provides accurate readings in both grams and newtons, allowing for a seamless connection between measurement and fundamental physics concepts. Its compact size makes it perfect for tabletop investigations and small-scale experiments. Colour-coded in purple and built with strong ultrasonic welds, it's...
