"Scales show an estimate of your mass based on the force your body exerts on it; and to find out how much force your body is exerting on the scales, multiply by 9.8 (to convert kg into Newtons)." from

To read a hospital scale, step onto the scale and wait for the digital display to show your weight. Make sure to stand still with equal weight distribution on both feet for an accurate reading. Record the weight displayed on the scale.
-- The scale itself is accelerating vertically, either upward or downward.-- The scale and object are falling.-- The scale and object are in an elevator which is either just starting out or just coming to rest.-- The scale and object are on a space vehicle during or after launch, or in transit, or during re-entry or landing.-- The scale and object are on the moon, or on another planet. In either of these cases, the scale readsthe correct 'weight', but it's not the reading you expect, since it's not the object's earth weight.
A spring scale measures the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It does this by stretching a spring based on the weight of the object, which can then be read as a measure of the force in units such as pounds or newtons.
A spring scale can be used to estimate weight on the moon by compensating for the moon's lower gravity. The scale will read about 1/6th of the individual's weight on Earth, as gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th that on Earth.
You get the cat to sleep in a box and put the box on your baby scale or kitchen scale with the cat in it, then evict the cat and weigh the box without the cat and subtract the two weights. If your scale read in pounds convert the pounds to kilograms by multiplying by 0.45359
if the weight is distrubted equally then the scale will read 2 weights worth
To read a hospital scale, step onto the scale and wait for the digital display to show your weight. Make sure to stand still with equal weight distribution on both feet for an accurate reading. Record the weight displayed on the scale.
To read scales accurately for measuring weight, ensure the scale is on a flat surface, zero it out before use, stand still on the scale, and read the measurement displayed.
You just stand on it & read weight.
put it on a scale and whatever number comes up is the weight of the pumpkin.
To read a weighing scale, simply step on it and wait for the display to stabilize. The number shown on the display is your current weight.
To accurately read grams on a scale, place the object on the scale and wait for the reading to stabilize. Ensure the scale is set to grams and read the number displayed on the screen. This number represents the weight of the object in grams.
To accurately measure the weight of a barbell, use a scale specifically designed for weighing heavy objects. Place the barbell on the scale and ensure it is balanced. Read the weight displayed on the scale to determine the accurate weight of the barbell.
no you can not. There would be no way to tell how much weight was being read on both scales. You have to go out and buy a scale that has a higher weight allowance.
Sold one today the scale read 3960lb but I'm not convinced the scale was right
To accurately determine the weight of a barbell, you can use a scale specifically designed for weighing barbells. Place the barbell on the scale and read the weight displayed. This will give you an accurate measurement of the barbell's weight.
The bottom number of a scale is typically located at the far left or at the lowest point of the scale's measurement range. It represents the minimum value that can be measured or displayed. For example, in a weight scale, it indicates the lightest weight that the scale can accurately read.
