<em>mass (m)= 5 kg</em>
<em>height (h)= 9m </em>
<em>gravity (g)= 9.8 m/s^2</em>
It has Potential energy. (PE)
• PE = mgh
Replacing:
PE = 5 * 9.8 * 9 = 441 Joules
Answer:
1st – Place the film canister on the <u>scale</u>.
2nd – Slide the large <u>weight </u>to the right until the arm drops below the line and then move it back one notch.
3rd – Repeat this process with the <u>top</u> weight. When the arm moves below the line, back it up one groove.
4th – Slide the <u>small </u>weight on the front beam until the <u>lines</u> match up.
5th – Add the amounts on each beam to find the total <u>mass </u>to the nearest tenth of a gram.
Explanation:
The triple beam balance is an instrument that is used in measuring the mass of substances to a very high degree of precision. The reading error is given by ±0.05 grams. The triple beam balance as the name implies has three beams that measure substances of different mass levels.
The beams are categorized as small, medium, and large. There is a balance on which the substance to be weighed is placed directly upon. To use this measuring device, the procedures mentioned above are followed.
