  3. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    One plate holds an object of unknown mass (or weight), while objects of known mass or weight, called weights, are added to the other plate until mechanical equilibrium is achieved and the plates level off, which happens when the masses on the two plates are equal. The perfect scale rests at neutral.

  4. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    Kilogram' means 'one thousand grams' [2] and is colloquially abbreviated to kilo. [ 3 ] The kilogram is an SI base unit , defined ultimately in terms of three defining constants of the SI, namely a specific transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom, the speed of light , and the Planck constant .

    The Metre Convention was signed on 20 May 1875 and further formalised the metric system (a predecessor to the SI), quickly leading to the production of the IPK.The IPK is one of three cylinders made in London in 1879 by Johnson Matthey, which continued to manufacture nearly all of the national prototypes as needed until the new definition of the kilogram came into effect in 2019.

  6. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    Typically, the reading scale of the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam in 10 gram increments, and the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams. [2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from the objects, find mass by difference for liquid , and measure out substances.

  7. Human body weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight

    Excess or reduced body weight is regarded as an indicator of determining a person's health, with body volume measurement providing an extra dimension by calculating the distribution of body weight. Average adult human weight varies by continent, from about 60 kg (130 lb) in Asia and Africa to about 80 kg (180 lb) in North America, with men on ...

    "Spices and herbs do go bad around one to two years," Bapton says. But the type matters. "Ground spices have about half the shelf life of whole spices. For optimal baking, open the containers to ...

  9. Weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight

    Weight is commonly measured using one of two methods. A spring scale or hydraulic or pneumatic scale measures local weight, the local force of gravity on the object (strictly apparent weight force). Since the local force of gravity can vary by up to 0.5% at different locations, spring scales will measure slightly different weights for the same ...
