Separate them into three groups of four. Compare two of them on the balance scale. If they weigh the same, the other group contains the fake one. If one weighs less, it contains the fake one. Then separate the group with the fake one into two groups of two. Whichever one weighs less has the fake one. Then separate the group with the fake one into two. The fake one weighs less than the other.

What is that thing called that is not a scale but weighs other things like weights?

That would be a balance or a balance scale. It compares the weight of an unknown object to the weight of known masses to determine the object's weight.


You are given 9 pearls 8 real ones and one fake one all the real ones weigh the same and the fake one weighs less using a balance scale twice how can you find out which one is fake?

separate into piles of three. weigh one pile on eachside, if they balance you know that the fake is in the remaining set of three. If one is lighter then you know the fake is in there. choose 2 from the remaining/lightest pile of three, place one on each side if that balances the fake is left. if one weighs less then the other then that's the fake.

What is the least count of physical balance?

The least count of a physical balance is the smallest measurement that can be read or displayed on the balance scale. It is determined by the precision of the scale and the smallest division marked on the scale or indicated by the scale's display.


A device that works by comparing the mass of an object known a mass called a?

The device you are referring to is likely a balance scale. The balance scale measures the mass of an object by comparing it to a known mass placed on the other side of the scale. When the two masses are equal, the balance scale is level, indicating that the masses are the same.

Why during free fall a body weighs nothing?

Because any scale that weighs the object must also be in free fall (that is the frame of reference you have given) and the result will be no weight. Though the mass might be large (the mass does not change in different situations), the weight as measured by a balance or scale, is zero.

Can halite scratch pearl?

Halite, which is a form of rock salt, has a hardness of about 2.5 on the Mohs scale. Pearls, on the other hand, have a hardness of around 2.5 to 4.5, depending on the type and conditions. Given this range, halite may be able to scratch softer pearls, but it is more likely that pearls will resist scratching from halite. Generally, it's advisable to keep pearls away from harder materials to prevent any potential damage.
