Physics Conclusion - balances

By using three devices, the platform balance, electronic scale, and the inertia balance it is possible to defy the relationship between mass and weight. The mass of an object relates to the amount of matter there is present. On the other hand, gravity is referred to as the pull or force of an object to the Earth. The platform balance and electronic scale are balances that require gravity to “pull” or have a force on the objects being measured to obtain its mass. The mass measuring device that would work in the absence of gravity is the inertia balance. It is this device that collaborates the period observed and the masses obtained from the electronic scale. It would be sufficient to use in the absence of gravity because it moves horizontally, instead of requiring a vertical force to carry out its purpose. The electronic scale is the m...
