It would work properly, although it would be very inaccurate. No matter how much gravity there is, an object's mass stays the same. A balance takes the weight of an object on the surface of Earth and, with the counterweights, balances it out with an approximate mass. If you wanted a balance to work on the moon, you would need to relabel the balance.

∙ 15y agoPerhaps you're referring to a balance that weighs two objects on either side, tipping to one side or the other if the mass on one side is higher than the mass on another? If that's what you want to know, then a balance would work just fine on the moon.
Basically, gravity acts on mass. The balance simply measures the acceleration of gravity on two masses, and either balances (if the masses are equal) or tilts toward the side with the highest mass. Since the moon has gravity, a balance will work just fine.
It will work more slowly than on the earth, though, since the acceleration of gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 that of earth's gravity.

Does laboratory balance measure the mass of an object?
Yes. It uses counter weights (either attached one on a scale, or small one to put on the second platter) that would be affected in the same way as the mass to measure if there was a change in the acceleration (i.e. they would work the same on the Moon).
Does the Energy Armor bracelet work?
Yes they do work... they increase your balance... before getting mines... i took a short test of balance... my balance wasn't good... when i put it on... i had balance that was unexplainable... Energy Armor Bracelets do work...
Which correctly describes what power measures?
The rate at which work is done.
How does a spring balance work?
to measure the weight of an object, hang the object on the hook of the balance, lift up the balance and take the reading. OR to measure the force needed to pull an object, attach an object to the hook of the balance, pull the balance and take the reading when the object moves.
How can gender affect energy balance?
Age has many ways in affecting balance, one it changes the amount of energy needed so that the body won't be able to do things and task it ones could and two age can lower your energy balance because your body will do less extrenal work and there would be less internal heat in the body. This is how age affects energy balance
Would a balance work properly on the moon?
Yes, your balance would not be affected on the moon.
Would a spring balance work on the moon?
A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.
Why wont my Saturn moon roof work?

Would work in process for deposits have a credit balance or debit balance?
