📼Video Summary:
The two types of scales: a Hanging Scale and a Floor Scale. The Hanging Scale using a Rack and Pinion Gear and two springs to tell us how far much weight is on the scale. The Pinion Gear turns and affects which number the red pointer is going towards. This works because of Hooke's Law - which tells us the relationship between how much the spring stretches to how much force is used. However, if the Elastic Limit then the scale may no longer work properly. The floor scale works off of similar principles but the spring is a lot smaller and the weight is distributed across several supports. If the scales get off then they may need to be calibrated to adjust where the 'zero' mark is.

Another fantastic animation and explanation. Great work man!
-
This guy is soooo underated for the work he does, he should have had more than 15 million subs
-
Fantastic animation!! I was hooked on the first second of watching it. Keep up the great work!
-
Can we just take the time to appreciate not only how talented Jared is at Blender, but the fact that Blender is free for how freaking powerful it is?
-
Welcome back Jared!
-
0:45 let's spring right into it 🤣 nice pun Jared ☺
-
Extraordinary..I feel this video cannot be improved further..😊😊
-
Hey Jared, just wanted to say you’re videos are super informative and the animations are oddly satisfying to watch. It must not be easy having to create each model and animating them as smoothly as you do. I appreciate the hard work you’re constantly putting in to produce these. I imagine monthly videos are almost their own full-time job. Keep it up! You’re doing a wonderful job
-
I was curious about this since childhood. Now I finally know what's going on inside the scale.
-
Got a idea , do a video “How does it works the Soyuz Rocket”
-
Man the amount of work you put in for these videos is unbelievable! You are a one man army Jared! Thanks a lot for these top of the line animations!
-
Splendid animations! I don’t have enough words to tell how amazing your 3D animations are! Great work!
-
Those 7 dislikes were from the digital scale companies.

Sir Jared Owen, Your videos are really good. It helps me learn the mechanical side of every Tool. But I would be really pleased to see you uploading videos more often. All the best for your future videos and keep educating millions like me 😊😊
-
This was absolutely fascinating! I just love learning about everyday objects that most no-one gives a second thought to. Thank you for the great content :)
-
Thank you for such an amazing animation and clear explanation of this sophisticated mechanism.
-
Hey Jared can you explain ,how the wall clock works
-
This guy should be a professor. He makes it so easy that one could even start a manufacturing unit of weigh scales.
-
One of the best animated explanations I've yet seen. Excellent work!
-
Great, compact, straight to the point education. You are a hero Sir
