Question

If you are measuring the mass of a liquid on a balance scale, what do you have to take into consideration to accurately find the mass? (2 points) a Effect of gravity b Mass of container c Size of container d Weight of container

Answer 1

To find the mass of an object, the effect of gravity is taken into consideration.

Explanation:

• In order to measure the mass of an object, the ways way is to weight it.
• To weight means to measure the gravitational force on the object.
• As we know that
• F = ma
• Where Force = weight i.e. F = W
• Now
• W = ma
• Mass "m" = w / a
• By dividing the weight with acceleration the mass of an object can be measured.
