What is the smallest mass that can be weighed on the balance?
Q: What is the smallest mass this triple beam balance can measure? A: The smallest mass it can measure is one-tenth (0.1) of a gram. To measure very small masses, scientists use electronic balances, like the one in the Figure below.
How do you know if a gram scale is accurate?
Weigh two objects together.
- Place one object on the scale. Note the weight. Take it off and let the scale even back out.
- If it matches, the scale is accurate. If it doesn’t, try it again and see if it is off by the same number. If it is, it might be that your scale is always off by that amount.

Why does a cold object weigh higher than a hot object?
Do not weigh hot or cold objects on the balance. Hot objects will give erroneously lower readings due to air buoyancy, while cold objects will give higher readings due to the condensation of water vapor.
