Is the double pan balance scale or the digital scale more accurate?

Both scales could be inaccurate, it really depends on the scales resolution, the weight used to calibrate, and the amount of usage since last calibration.
Generally, digital scales will have higher resolutions, but both types of scales could be equally inaccurate if they were both calibrated wrong or were both worn in from frequent usage.
You can think of it like a digital watch and an analog watch. The digital watch may display time down to the millisecond, while the analog watch displays weight down to the second. The digital one is more precise, but both watches could be inaccurate if they were not set properly, or if they have become slow or fast over time.

What instrument measures the mass of a brick?
Mass is almost always measured by weight. You could use a large balance scale (bricks can weigh 2 kg or more) such as a triple-beam balance. For quicker results, a digital scale provides similar accuracy.
What is true if a digital scale reports a 10kg weight as weighing 8.975 kg?
The scale is precise but not accurate. (APEX)
How many grams is 3.2 on a digital scale?

Which tool would scientists use to determine the mass of a solid?
a laboratory balance OR an analytical balance OR a spring scale OR any other kind of scale
What does triple beam balance mean in science?
These are weighing instruments that have 3 (triple) scales instead of only 1 which makes them very sensitive and rather accurate. Look up 'Triple Beam Balance' or 'Beam Balance' triple.
Is a digital weight scale as accurate as the old fashioned ones?
An old fashioned dial scale is more accurate than a digital scale. The error rate for digital scale is only 1%, which isn't too bad.
Can a scale balance measure a milligram?
Most are not that accurate. The most accurate "balance beam" scale is accurate to about plus or minus 5 milligrams (5/1000ths of a gram).
What Use of dietetic scale?
A kitchen device used to measure the weight of ingredients and other food. Kitchen scales are available in balance or spring models. A balance scale will give a more accurate reading than a spring scale. Using a scale will result in a more accurate measurement of the ingredients than by measuring it by volume. Scales are available in manual and digital models.
What is the mass of a potato?
If you want to measure anything you put it on a balance(scale). You probably want to use a digital kitchen scale as they are very accurate and can normally cope with mass's up to 4 may be 5kg.
What is the definition of digital balance?
A scale used to measure things in grams
What are the differences between a mounted digital kitchen scale and a standard analog kitchen scale?
The main difference between these scales it that the digital will give a more accurate and easier to read reading than figuring it out with the lines between the numbers the analog scale. However, the digital scale requires and battery and the analog does not.
What is digital scale?
Digital scale is a electronic weighing devices that integrate with modern sensor technology, electronic technology and computer calculating technology. It is more accurate, more sensible, more convenient than traditional spring scale.
How do find mass of a regular solid?
Use a digital mass scale or a triple-beam-balance scale to find the mass of a regular solid.
Where can I find an accurate digital scale online?
You have many choices when looking for a digital scale. You should try eBay and Amazon, they have several brands, sizes and prices for any budget. They also have customer reviews.
