  2. Analytical balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_balance

    The reading scale can be enumerated such that the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam can read from 0 to 10 grams, and the front beam can read in 10 gram increments. [4] The parts of a triple beam balance are identified as following: [5] Weighing pan - The area in which an object is placed in order to be weighed.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (also known as engineer's beam theory or classical beam theory) [1] is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load-carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It covers the case corresponding to small deflections of a beam that is subjected to lateral ...

  6. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Macaulay's method (the double integration method) is a technique used in structural analysis to determine the deflection of Euler-Bernoulli beams. Use of Macaulay's technique is very convenient for cases of discontinuous and/or discrete loading.

  7. Roberval balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberval_Balance

    A Roberval balance made by W & T Avery Ltd. in England Detail: the bottom horizontal beam is hidden under the protective cover A Roberval balance shown responding to two masses of equal weight The Roberval balance is a weighing scale presented to the French Academy of Sciences by the French mathematician Gilles Personne de Roberval in 1669.

  8. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

    The prime mover runs a set of pulleys to the transmission, often a double-reduction gearbox, which drives a pair of cranks, generally with counterweights installed on them to offset the weight of the heavy rod assembly. The cranks raise and lower one end of an I-beam which is free to move on an A-frame. On the other end of the beam is a curved ...

  9. Counterweight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterweight

    A simple crane. A counterweight is a weight that, by applying an opposite force, provides balance and stability of a mechanical system. [1] The purpose of a counterweight is to make lifting the load faster and more efficient, which saves energy and causes less wear and tear on the lifting machine.
