Every object has a centre mass. The centre of mass is the hypothetical point through which gravity acts on the object. An object "balances" on its centre of mass. If two objects have the same mass they will balance each other on a beam balance. This was the first method that humans used to measure the relative mass of objects eg mass of grain to sell in the market or mass of gold etc.
If you are in a swivel chair try spinning in a circle then change your centre of mass by putting your legs out. Children learn to operate a swing by changing the position of their centre of mass.
What else can I help you with?
Can mass of an object be measured by a beam balance?
A balance allows the mass of an object to be found by comparison with a standard mass. The device is in balance when the objects are of equal mass, so it does not depend on the right value of gravity, as a spring 'balance' does.
What is the centigram balance of an object that has a mass of 2.62114g?
The centigram balance measures mass to the nearest 0.01g. Therefore, the object with a mass of 2.62114g would read as 2.62g on the centigram balance.
What apparatus will be used to measure mass of irregular solid?
A triple beam balance or electronic balance will be used to measure the mass of an irregular solid. The object is placed on the balance, and the reading of the balance will indicate the mass of the irregular solid.
Does a pan balance measure mass or weight?
A pan balance measures mass, not weight. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. The pan balance compares the mass of two objects by balancing them against each other.
If the greater the mass of an object will it be more balanced?
Not necessarily. Balance depends on distribution of mass, not just total mass. The placement of the mass relative to the pivot point determines balance.
Are balance and mass related?
Not directly ... it's the distribution of the mass that plays with balance.
How are balance and mass related?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object.
How are mass and second related?
Balance, second and mass arent all directly related, balance, as maybe in a weight balance and mass, both due with volume weight, etc. Hope this helped !
Are second and mass related?
Balance, second and mass arent all directly related, balance, as maybe in a weight balance and mass, both due with volume weight, etc. Hope this helped !
Which two terms are related balance second or mass Explain how the terms are related?
seconds are up to 60 and mass is unlimited
Are balance and second related?
Balance, second and mass arent all directly related, balance, as maybe in a weight balance and mass, both due with volume weight, etc. Hope this helped !
How is balance and mass similar?
Also, how is kilogram and cubic centimeter similar/related?
Mass is measured with what?
Mass is measured with a Triple Beam Balance. Yes it is.
What do you use to compare the mass of two different objects?
a triple beam balance can be used to measure mass. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In a laboratory analytical balances are used. The type of balance depends on the mass to be measured.
Can mass of an object be measured by a beam balance?

What is the instruments for mass?
A balance measures mass.
Instruments for measuring mass?
A triple beam balance. (TBB)
