weighing scale
you can use a balance table for some small objects.
We use a balance or a scale to find the mass of objects. These instruments measure the force of gravity acting on the object and provide the mass in units such as kilograms or grams.
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg)
To know the mass of objects
This comparison is very simple: measure the mass with a balance.
The objects mass.
No, you would not use a graduated cylinder to compare the mass of two objects, that would be silly. Graduated cylinders are only useful to measure volume, not mass. Mass is measured with a scale. Chemists usually use a triple beam balance.
a triple beam balance can be used to measure mass. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In a laboratory analytical balances are used. The type of balance depends on the mass to be measured.
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
You would typically measure the mass of a snowflake in the metric unit of milligrams (mg), as snowflakes are very small and light objects.
Mass - of small objects.
To measure the mass of regular objects, you can use a balance scale, placing the object on one side and comparing it to known weights on the other. For irregular objects, you can use the water displacement method: submerge the object in a graduated container filled with water and measure the volume of water displaced, which is equal to the object's volume. Then, multiply the volume by the object's density (if known) to find its mass. Alternatively, simply use a scale to weigh the object directly, regardless of its shape.
