To check the exact mass of set of weights 1kg you use the triple beam balance you need to calibrate this measuring device, what kind of error did you try to minimize?
Answers
Explanation:
A triple-beam balance gets its name because it has three beams that allow you to move known masses along the beam. ... Because a triple beam balance compares a known mass to an unknown mass it is unaffected by gravity. Unlike a spring scale which really measures weight, the triple beam balance gives a true measure of mass.
Systematic error
Explanation:
A mistake that is not caused by chance but is caused by an inaccuracy (of observation or measurement) in the system. Systematic mistake that happens with the same value every time we use the instrument in the same way and in the same situation. Statistical bias is another term for systematic error. It is frequently decreased by the use of established methods. Learning how to utilise standard equipment and protocols to avoid systematic mistake is part of the learning process in several fields. As we can see, 1kg weights are used for the triple beam balance thus creating a systematic error.
