Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).
A transformation that proportionally reduces or enlarges a figure?
Scaling will proportionally reduce or enlarge a figure. The amount of scaling is given by the scale factor (greater than zero) If the scale factor is less than 1, the figure is reduced and it is sometimes called a contraction If the scale factor is greater than 1, the figure is enlarged, and it is called a dilation or enlargement. If a centre of enlargement is used, the distance of every point from the centre is multiplied by the scale factor. The scale factor can be negative in which case the distance to the new point is measured on the opposite side of the centre to the original point.

How do you use a balance scale?
A balance scale uses a weighing plate and a counter. It typically does not matter which plate is used for which purpose. Begin by placing the item to be weighed on one plate.

As the two plate reach the same level, the scale balances, and you have determined the weight of your item.
