Experimental sciences frequently require the measurement of the amount of the materials being tested, analyzed, or aliquoted. Mass can be measured in a gravity field by determining the balancing point of leveled levers from which are suspended the item under test and a known standard mass. Only in a gravitational field, when a force is exerted on the mass in an object, can the experimenter determine its weight. The purpose of this multi-sectioned chapter is to measure mass in terms of weight with a ...
