Measuring Mass with a Triple Beam Balance

The video tutorial explains the concept of mass and how it differs from weight, using a toy ball as an example. It describes how to measure mass using a triple beam balance, detailing the steps to calibrate the scale and adjust the sliders to find the exact mass. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of calculating mass and provides links to learn more about volume, density, and other science topics.
