Answer:
A beam balance is used to measure the mass. It consists of a horizontal beam, supported at its centre. The beam can move freely about its support and a pointer is attached to the centre of the beam. ... Then the sum of the known masses gives the mass of the object.

Working of a beam balance made using a hanger, two paper cups, and thread is as follows:
- A balance beam is an instrument that helps in comparing the weights of two objects.
- It works by matching the weight of the object to be weighed against a standard/ known weight.
- When equal weights are added to the paper cups, the net torque on the hanger is balanced and it remains straight.
- If the weight in one cup is more than the other cup, the hanger will tilt to the side of the heavier cup.
- A diagram of a simple beam balance is given below.
