Tag: measurement of mass

In a physical balance, when the beam is released with empty pans, the successive left and right turning points are obtained as 5; 6, 6 and 18, 18 respectively. After placing the substance whose mass is to be determined and when beam is released, the resting point obtained is 13. When 10 mg is added to the pan, the resting point is obtained as 11. If the mass at LRP is 60 g, the correct mass of the body corrected to a milligram is ______ g. 

State whether true or false.
The pointer of a spring balance will read zero when there is no load on the pan.

The weight placed on the pan is a balance when HRP is obtained is 47.86 g. The difference between ZRP and HRP of the physical balance is 3. When 10 mg is added in its pan, the difference between HRP and LRP is obtained as 5. Determine the most accurate mass of the body.
