Mechanical Balances

Mechanical balances are traditional weighing instruments used in laboratories, educational settings, and industrial environments to measure mass through mechanical means, without the need for electricity. These balances typically employ a beam with a fixed fulcrum, calibrated weights, and a set of scales to determine mass based on mechanical equilibrium. They are known for their durability, reliability, and ease of use, making them ideal for teaching fundamental principles of mass measurement in educational settings.
