It is to show you that the pointer is on the zero mark.
a small scale.....You would use a triple beam balance or a pan balance.a balance.
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.
The smallest scale division of a triple beam balance is .1 grams. This means that its measuring error is .01 grams.
The normal triple beam balance reads in grams. The larger increments are 100 and 10 grams, and the final beam may measure continuously in grams and decimal fractions .

A triple beam balance is a scale used to measuremass.
use the silver knob on the right side of your triple beam balance until the pointer in the middle indicates that both sides are balanced
The function of a pointer tells you if you have the correct measurement or not. hope that helped!!:)xoxox <3 -Demi
There are many parts to this triple-beam balance scale....there is the Balance pan were you put the object you are measuring then the riders and the beams and the riders ride on the beams then the zero then the arm the pointer end the base the fulcrum and the tare but it is used to adjust the pointer that points to the zero and that is all.

What you just said,duh
A common alternative name for the triple beam balance is the triple beam scale.
When after you adjust the riders and the pointer reads zero
The triple beam balance consists of three main parts: the pan, the beams with riders, and the pointer. The pan is where the object to be weighed is placed. The beams have riders that are moved to balance the weight, while the pointer indicates the weight measurement.
A digital balance provides a direct digital readout of mass, typically to higher precision than a triple beam balance. A triple beam balance, on the other hand, uses three sliding weight beams and a pointer to measure mass manually by balancing weights. Triple beam balances are often used in educational settings.
You should slide the sliding weight on the front beam until the pointer on the balance lines up with the zero mark on the scale. This indicates that the balance is at equilibrium, and you can then take the reading of the weight being measured on the triple beam balance.
The parts of a triple beam balance include the base, the three weighted beams (each marked with different increments), the zero adjust knob for calibration, the pan where objects are placed for weighing, and the pointer that aligns with the scale to indicate the weight of the object.
