Finding Mass Using The Inertial Balance
Beginning of paper
Theory: Physics can be referred to as the study of various properties of matter and energy. Matter can best be described by looking at the mass of an object. Mass is the amount of material that is in an object. Mass can be found by using a spring scale, a balance scale, or an inertial balance. ....

.... balance and compare them to accepted measures.
Materials: C-clamps, inertial scale, a watch with a second hand, and a triple beam balance.
Procedure: 1) The class will measure the period of oscillation of their balance pans when they are empty. The accepted period will be the average of the class. To find the period, you will measure the amount of time it takes for your balance to complete 20 oscillations. The period (T) will be computed by taking your time and dividing it by 20. Th ....
