Question

What is the mass, in grams, of the object being measured in the triple beam balance shown below?

Answer 1

Answer:

Reading will be

m = 25.5 g

Explanation:

As we know that here the scale is divided into three parts

total reading is the sum of reading due to each part

here from first scale the reading is given as

$m_1 = 20 g$

from second scale the reading will be

$m_2 = 0$

from third scale the reading will be

$m_3 = 5.5 g$

so total reading will be

$m = 20 + 0 + 5.5$

$m = 25.5 g$

Answer 2

I believe the answer is B) 25.5 g
