Question

According to the lesson, describe in detail how you would use a triple beam balance to obtain the mass of an apple.

( Put it into your words so that you can fully understand it using 2 to 3 sentences.)

Answer 1

To find out the weight of the object, you’ll need to slide the weight poises until the pointer is at zero again. Start with the two heavier weight poises and then use the lightest one to do the fine tuning. The HST triple beam balance and the Ohaus model are accurate to 0.1 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

So, there are three different values on a triple beam balance; There is hundreds, tens, and units. To find the weight of an apple you move the markers until it is balanced. Say that the apple weighs one hundred-fifty-seven gram, you would first move the hundreds marker to the number one hundred. Then you would move the tens marker to fifty. Last, you would move the unit marker to seven.
