Scales used to measure weight include: * Spring scale - measures the increased length of a spring as it stretches * Balance scale - uses a horizontal lever to compare unknown weights to that of known weights
Why are there balance weights as part of the crankshaft?
There are no balance weights, holes are drilled into different parts of it to allow it to spin with minimal shaking/imbalance.
What are importance of platform balance?
Platform balance is a device that weights object that has a flat plate mounted above a balance beam. It is used to weight heavy objects, it also gives the exact weight of an object that is being weight and it allows large weight to be accommodated in a small space.
