A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.


What does it mean to zero an electronic balance?

Usually you add a container to the balance then zero it. Then when you add something to the container e.g. a liquid or solid then when you place the container back on the balance the reading shows you how much you have added. Saves having to work out how much you added by weighing the container, weighing the container plus contents and then subtracting. Removes one possible source of error i.e. incorrect subtraction of values. Also faster/easier when trying to measure out a specific amount of a substance.
