Homework Statement
For a personal project I am doing, I want to test a range of forces in the horizontal direction, and see how the device I created reacts at different forces. So for example, if I want to apply 5N specifically to a device, to see how it reacts under that force, how would I go about applying it? Like applying a specific amount of force. Because I can measure displacement, and I can push on my device with my own fingers, but I don't know what amount of force I am pushing with. I want to know specifically the amount of force.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Something like a dynamometer, but instead of knowing the force being applied to the dynamometer, I want to replace the dynamometer with my device. And I know spring force meters can measure a force, but I want to take a measured force and apply it to something.
