  2. Decimal balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_balance

    Old decimal balance scale A drawing to illustrate a design with two-point support of the platform. A decimal balance or decimal scale is a balance scale which uses the lever in which the arm for weights is 10 times longer than the arm for weighted objects, so that much lighter weights may be used to weigh heavy object. [1]

  3. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

    The balance (also balance scale, beam balance and laboratory balance) was the first mass measuring instrument invented. [1] In its traditional form, it consists of a pivoted horizontal lever with arms of equal length – the beam or tron – and a weighing pan [ 10 ] suspended from each arm (hence the plural name " scales " for a weighing ...

  4. Analytical balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_balance

    An analytical balance (or chemical balance) is a class of balance designed to measure small mass in the sub-milligram range. The measuring pan of an analytical balance (0.1 mg resolution or better) is inside a transparent enclosure with doors so that dust does not collect and so any air currents in the room do not affect the balance's operation ...

  5. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    When using the triple beam balance, it is recommended that one start with the lowest level of precision (e.g 100 gram increments). For example, if an object weighs 327 grams, the 100 gram pointer will drop below the fixed mark on the 4th notch (400g); it will then need to be moved back to the third notch (300g).

  6. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    When one stands on a balance-beam-type scale at a doctor’s office, they are having their mass measured directly. This is because balances ("dual-pan" mass comparators) compare the gravitational force exerted on the person on the platform with that on the sliding counterweights on the beams; gravity is the force-generating mechanism that ...

  7. Force platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_platform

    Stabilometric force platform in sport. Force platforms or force plates are measuring instruments that measure the ground reaction forces generated by a body standing on or moving across them, to quantify balance, gait and other parameters of biomechanics. Most common areas of application are medicine and sports.
