Measuring with a Triple Beam Balance

The video tutorial explains how to read a triple beam balance, starting with the middle beam, followed by the top beam, and finally the bottom beam. It provides step-by-step instructions and examples to calculate the total weight accurately.

What is the first step in reading a triple beam balance?

• Read the top beam

• Read the middle beam

• Read all beams simultaneously

• Read the bottom beam

Why do we start with the middle beam?

• It has the smallest numbers

• It is the easiest to read

• It is the most accurate

• It has the largest numbers

What does the 'G' stand for on the middle beam?

• Gallons

• Grams

• Grains

• Gigabytes

What is the second step in reading a triple beam balance?

• Read the middle beam again

• Read the bottom beam

• Read the electronic scale

• Read the top beam

Why is the top beam read second?

• It has the largest numbers

• It reads in tens

• It is the most accurate

• It is the easiest to read

What is the final step in reading a triple beam balance?

• Read the top beam

• Read the middle beam

• Read the electronic scale

• Read the bottom beam

How do you read the bottom beam?

• By ones

• By hundreds

• By tens

• By thousands

What is the total weight if the middle beam reads 100g, the top beam reads 50g, and the bottom beam reads 8.7g?

• 108.7 grams

• 158.7 grams

• 150.7 grams

• 100.7 grams

If the middle beam reads 0g, the top beam reads 10g, and the bottom beam reads 3.2g, what is the total weight?

• 0.2 grams

• 3.2 grams

• 10.2 grams

• 13.2 grams

What is the total weight if the middle beam reads 400g, the top beam reads 60g, and the bottom beam reads 0.1g?

• 460.1 grams

• 400.1 grams

• 460 grams

• 60.1 grams
