If a 4 kilogram weight is located 2 cm to the left of the pivot where do you put a 500 gram weight to achieve balance?

4 kilograms is 8 times 500 grams. The 500 gram weight must be 8 times as far to the right. 8 times 2 cm = 16 cm.

What would 1 kilogram weigh on the moon?
It's mass would be one kilogram on the moon, but It would weight about 1/6 of one kilogram.Answer:Mass and weight are not interchangeable - mass is always constant but weight varies as the local gravitational force. As a result on a equal arm balance the "weight"of a a one kilogram object would be the same as the total weight put on the other arm (which total one kilogram). On a spring balance however, where the spring is compressed or stretched by the action of gravity on the one kilogram mass to indicate "weight", the "weight" on the moon would be about 1/6 of the weight on Earth.
Can you use a pan balance to measure them mass of an object?
Yes. You would need some way of keeping the orange on the balance though. I would suggest placing a bowl on the balance, correcting for it's weight, and then measuring the combined weight of bowl and orange.
