The FT-5K utilizes load cell technology. A load cell is a

force-sensing unit and is designed to measure a specific force ignoring

other forces being applied. The FT-5K is equipped with two ranges,

0-5kg and 0-500 grams.

The FT-5K can be used in various experiments to study

topics such as harmonic motion, friction, centripetal force, etc.
