How does the triple beam balance work?

Answer 1

1st you keep the object on the tray. then place the balance such that the tray holding the object is in your left hand side. the 3rd beam is used to adjust the weight in kilograms. the 2nd beam is used to adjust the weight in 100g, 200g, 300g etc. the 1st beam (the one close to you) is used to adjust the weight in 1, 2, 3, 4 etc grams. now try and move the small caps on the beams to the right. you will notice that the big bar moves up and down. if the big bar moves up that means that the object is more heavy. if it moves down then the object has a lesser weight. you have to keep on guessing and adjusting until the big bar comes to position with the 0 on the right side of the balance..

TIP : start adjusting the 1, 2, 3 g beam first

Answer 2

You first have to place the object on the pan. Then you adjust the balance so it will point at the number zero. Then, after you put the object on the pan, you adjust the riders, so the pointer will once again, point at zero. Once the Triple Beam Balance is balanced, you look at the riders and see what numbers they are on. That is the mass!

Answer 3

A triple beam balance is a scientific tool used to measure mass. The balance is very precise and measures within 0.05 grams.

Answer 4

It works by making the pointer line up with the zero then putting you item on the tray.Then you start with the heaviest slider first then continue to the lightest weight poise

Answer 5

Its basically a see saw with three movable different weights at the opposite end to what you are weighing, the weights are
