What is the use of spring in a tin cutter?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A tin cutter is similar to pair of scissors, but a strong spring is fixed between the handle of one blade and the other blade. When we cut the metal by pressing the the spring gets streched, so, energy is stored in the spring. This energy of the spring is used to move the jaw apart after the opreations
