a spring is used to counteract the force of gravity pulling on an object. The change in length of the spring may be calibrated to the force required to balance the gravitational pull. The resulting measurement may be made in units of force (such as the newton), however, gravimeters display their measurements in units of gals (cm/s²), and parts per million, parts per billion, or parts per trillion of the average
