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.
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
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.
Mass - of small objects.
you will measure a mass or objects with force
You would typically measure the mass of a snowflake in the metric unit of milligrams (mg), as snowflakes are very small and light objects.
