Weighing with a Single-Pan Balance

The beam of a properly adjusted balance assumes an essentially horizontal position with no object on the pan and all of the masses in place. When the pan and beam arrests are disengaged, the beam is free to rotate around the knife edge. Placing an object on the pan causes the left end of the beam to move downward. Masses are then removed systematically one by one from the beam until the imbalance is less than 100 mg. The angle of deflection of the beam with respect to its original horizontal position is directly proportional to the additional mass that must be removed to restore the beam to its original horizontal position. The optical system shown in the upper part of Figure 2-4 measures this angle of deflection and converts this angle to milligrams. A reticle, which is a small transparent screen mounted on the beam, is scribed with a scale that reads 0 to 100 mg. A beam of light passes through the scale to an enlarging lens, which in turn focuses a small part of the enlarged scale onto a frosted glass plate located on the front of the balance. A vernier makes it possible to read this scale to the nearest 0.1 mg.
