Because triple means three.
When using a triple beam balance, you need to know the weight of the object you are measuring, the unit of measurement (grams or milligrams), and how to properly adjust the balance to achieve an accurate measurement. Ensuring the balance is properly zeroed before use is also essential for accurate results.
The triple beam balance consists of three beams: a middle beam with a pointer, a front beam with a rider, and a rear beam with a rider. The middle beam is the main beam and is calibrated in grams. The front and rear beams are used to fine-tune the measurement by moving their riders along the notched scales. The triple beam balance is used to measure the mass of an object by comparing it to known masses on the three beams.
1st you keep the object on the tray. then place the balance such that the tray holding the object is in your left hand side. the 3rd beam is used to adjust the weight in kilograms. the 2nd beam is used to adjust the weight in 100g, 200g, 300g etc. the 1st beam (the one close to you) is used to adjust the weight in 1, 2, 3, 4 etc grams. now try and move the small caps on the beams to the right. you will notice that the big bar moves up and down. if the big bar moves up that means that the object is more heavy. if it moves down then the object has a lesser weight. you have to keep on guessing and adjusting until the big bar comes to position with the 0 on the right side of the balance.. TIP : start adjusting the 1, 2, 3 g beam first
An 'U' beam is a beam that is shaped like the letter 'U'. It is usually made of 3 parts; 2 sides and 1 bottom piece. A beam would normally refer to an 'I' beam (A beam that is shaped like the letter 'I'). The difference is that cross section of the beams are different.
The beam balance has an arm and two container. The first container to hold the load. There is another container that is used to hold the metal that has a fixed weight. So how does a beam balance realy work? A long time ago, in the ancient China the beam balance is used during transaction. When the customer wanted to buy certain amount of uncountable items, example: The customer wanted to buy 500g of rice , the seller will take a metal weight 500g and put it in the first container then, he will put the rice in the second container until both sides are balance. The beam balance has the fulcrum at the middle. So the beam balance is consider as the first-class lever. Examples of first-classs lever: 1) See-saw 2) Scissors 3) Pillers
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.
Triple Beam balances have 3 sliders.
A triple-beam balance is an instrument for measuring the mass of an object to a generally useful level of precision. It compares the object's mass to the triple beam balance's standardized calibrated mass through the manipulation of the balance's three masses (of 3 scales such as hundreds, tens and singles of grams), each along its own beam (three masses = three beams; thus, 'triple beam'). Mass is a very useful measurement for a variety of applications, including medicine and biology (to measure how much mass an organism -- including a person -- has, and by measuring and comparing triple beam balance measurements over time, whether that organism is getting heavier/fatter or thinner/losing weight).

The function of a pointer tells you if you have the correct measurement or not. hope that helped!!:)xoxox <3 -Demi

Usually a scientist uses a triple beam balance, although there are other, more sensitive scales that can be used if necessary.
The first beam touching the stemthe number of beams touching the stem.
No, it was based on a scale and 3 weight lines to see how much it weighs, one is increments of 1 pound, increments of 10 pounds and increments of 50 pounds
To block the 3 beams to prevent the wrong beam from hitting the wrong phosphor.
