A\u00a0scale\u00a0or\u00a0balance\u00a0is a device used to measure\u00a0weight\u00a0or \u00a0mass. These are also known as\u00a0mass scales,\u00a0 weight scales,\u00a0mass balances, and\u00a0weight balances.
The\u00a0traditional scale\u00a0consists of two plates or bowls suspended at equal distances from a\u00a0fulcrum. One plate holds an object of unknown\u00a0mass\u00a0(or\u00a0weight), while known masses are added to the other plate until\u00a0static equilibrium\u00a0is achieved and the plates level off, which happens when the masses on the two plates are equal. The perfect scale rests at neutral. A\u00a0spring scale\u00a0will make use of a\u00a0spring\u00a0of known\u00a0stiffness\u00a0to determine mass (or weight). Suspending a certain mass will extend the spring by a certain amount depending on the spring’s stiffness (or\u00a0spring constant). The heavier the object, the more the spring stretches, as described in\u00a0Hooke’s law. Other types of scales making use of different physical principles also exist.
Some scales can be\u00a0calibrated\u00a0to read in units of force (weight) such as\u00a0newtons\u00a0instead of units of mass such as\u00a0kilograms. Scales and balances are widely used in commerce, as many products are sold and packaged by mass<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
