Designed for flat masses with a large central hole and a small slot, which keeps them from sliding off the hanger.
How the mass hanger is used
A mass hanger is the base of a variable load. It hangs from a spring, a string or a lever arm, and slotted masses are stacked on its stem to build up the load in steps. The 50 g of the hanger itself is always part of the total, so a hanger carrying two 50 g slotted masses applies 150 g, a force of about 1.47 N.
- Hang the empty hanger from the spring and note the pointer reading for the 50 g load.
- Add one slotted mass at a time, letting the spring settle before each reading.
- Record the total mass (hanger plus slotted masses) against the extension.
- Plot force (mass x g) against extension; the straight-line section confirms Hooke's law, F = kx, and its gradient gives the spring constant k.
The pack of 3 lets a class run several spring or pulley set-ups at once, or hang loads at different points on a metre rule when studying the principle of moments.

Frequently asked questions
What is the mass of each hanger?
Each cast alloy hanger is 50 g, and the pack contains 3.
How accurate is the mass hanger?
It is accurate to 1%.
Why is the hanger mass included in the load?
The hanger hangs with the slotted masses, so its 50 g is part of the total force on the spring or lever and must be added to every reading.
