Weighing the mass of an object with a balance: key steps and precautions

In order to accurately weigh the mass of objects on the balance, you need to follow some key steps. This paper will introduce the correct operation method for you in detail to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

Correct placement method

To weigh the mass of an object on a balance, the left plate should be used to place the object, while the right plate should be used to place the heavy object. The correct placement method can ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

Add and subtract weight with tweezers

When weighing the mass of an object on the balance, you should use tweezers to add and subtract weights instead of holding them directly by hand. If you hold the weight directly by hand or turn the object and weight upside down, your measurement results may be inaccurate.

Operate according to the regulations

The correct operation method can ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, so the balance must be operated according to the regulations. Only under the correct operation method can accurate measurement results be obtained.
