You are measuring the magnitude of the force required to hold the object stationary within a particular gravitation field.
The weight of an object is relative to the gravitational field acting upon it.
Mass is a physical property of an object where weight indicates a force acting against the object.
The weight of an object on the moon will be about 1/6th of the weight it has on Earth, but its mass will be the same in both places.

If you are using a balance scale than you are measuring mass in what?
You are measuring mass in any system for which you have standard masses.
How is measuremen of weight different from measurement of mass?
a scale
The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?
The scale measures the amount of gravitational pull on your body from the earth, or what is known as weight.
What laboratory apparatus is used to measure weight?
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity.
What is the formula of the formula mass?
Mass = weight /gravity Density = Mass / Volume So, if you know the density and the volume, you can calculate the mass. Also, you can measure the mass by measuring the weight. On earth, mass and weight are equal.
What is a measuring scale does it measure mass or weight?
a measuring scale is a tool that helps to see how much you weigh
When you stand on a scale the scale is measuring what?
Strictly, it's measuring weight, but most are calibrated to give mass.
How do you measure muscle mass?
with measuring tape and a weight scale
What is a measuring scale measure?

A laboratory equipment used for measuring the weight.?
A balance is used for measuring mass. A scale is used for measuring weight. (Usually a scale us used for mass.)
Does a scale measure volume?
No, it is used to find the weight or mass of an object.
Which is the best unit for measuring the weight of a strawberry?
A postage scale or food scale is. After the weight has been determined, it can best be expressed in ounces or Newtons, and its mass in grams.
If someone is using a beam balance beam scale what are they measuring?
weight mass and water and led
What are the instrument used in measuring mass?
a scale
What instrument is used when measuring mass?
A scale
What are the instruments you use to measure mass and weight of an object?
Balances are the most common method of measuring mass. These are instruments that use a counterweight to find the weight of something else.Some instruments for measuring mass are; for example; physical balance, analytical balance, and other devices.Refer to link below for more information.
If you are using a balance scale than you are measuring mass in what?
You are measuring mass in any system for which you have standard masses.
