hey this is mr. bike and this is a quick tutorial on how to use a triple beam balance the triple beam balance is one of the most common scientific instruments that we're going to use we use a triple beam balance to find the mass of an object in grams today we're going to find cast of this iron few let's go over some of the features of the triple beam balance here is the pan they want to make sure the pan is clean and free of any debris or water that might be on it before we start if we don't that could affect our results could it be taking the mass of the water or whatever's on there instead of the massive just RQ  these are the arms you want to make sure that when we start the weight that's on these arms or all the way down here it's what we call having it zeroed  where we also want to make sure that we have this lined up right here which of these little lines in each side matching their lined up  that  we also want to note that group on these two arm where the weight fits into we want to make sure we move these weights back and forth it falls into the Naches otherwise we're not going to get the right result so let's take the mask of this iron put it on here you know it's right away this any was right up to the top we're going to start with the heaviest math and move this over they go down no we have to go one more that time we went down now we're going to move it back go to the next one in the rear move it up  what up there we go that one back  finally went to go to the lightest one the smallest little Mass here in the move that across its tap it with your finger tap tap tap tap tap tap tap app buried all lined up pretty good but if we want to try to be as accurate as we can with the True Value you can be difficult but get another one of these lines that you see on that front bar now how do we know what massive what do we do with these numbers that they're lying on let's go ahead and take a closer look to see what we really need to do lower to find out what the mass is it humid before the largest one first 100 that's 2120  and what this one say  but right after the five before the 6th so that's going to be a hundred and twenty 5 how many lines where does one two three four five six seven eight nine the 125 125.9  now what are the units for Mass so we want to report this as 125.9 grams now back to the basics on how to triple beam balance make sure you practice a lot you know how to use his instrument
