Week 3 Data and Variables
Task 1
The triple beam balance
The triple beam balance is used to measure mass.
We are using it because we are developing the concept of the physical property of mass as a fundamental quantity.
(Weight is a derived quantity and is another physical property that we will learn to measure later.)
The triple beam balance is fun to manipulate and to learn how to read complex sliding scales.
Using the triple beam balance helps to develop the concepts of balance and equilibrium.
