What is a tool that measures the force or weight used to move an object or living thing? Measures in Newtons (N)
A
triple beam balance scale
B
spring scale
C
digital scale
D
barometer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Newton meter is a piece of equipment that is used to measure the forces acting on an object. It is also known as a spring balance or spring scale. Newton meters contain a spring connected to a metal hook.

Detailed explanation-2: -A spring scale measures weight or force when an object is hung from its hook. To measure loose material such as sand, pour into a plastic bag and hang the bag from the hook. This one has a dual scale that reads 0-1000 g in 10 g increments and 0-10 Newtons in 0.1 Newton increments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spring Meters: These are often analogue devices that feature a spring with a hook to attach to the object you want to measure. Spring force meters measure the force required to extend the spring mechanism.

Detailed explanation-4: -A spring balance is used to measure the weight of an object and the mass is measured by a beam balance.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dynamometer is the device used for measuring force acting on an object.
