Balances
Balance is measuring instrument, refers to a device used to determine the mass or weight of an object by comparing it to a set of known masses. It operates on the principle of equilibrium, where the gravitational force acting on the object is balanced by the force exerted by a calibrated mass. Balances are widely used in various fields for precise and accurate measurements.
Types of Balances:
1.Analytical Balances: Used in laboratories for highly accurate measurements, often with readability up to micrograms.
2.Precision Balances: Provide high precision but may have a slightly lower accuracy compared to analytical balances.
3.Top-loading Balances: Suitable for general weighing purposes with a focus on simplicity and convenience.
4.Electronic Balances: Utilize electronic components for measurements and may include additional features like digital displays.
