What is the mass in grams of the object being measured in the triple beam balance shown below A 5 5 g B 25 5

Answer :

Answer:

Reading will be

m = 25.5 g

Explanation:

As we know that here the scale is divided into three parts

total reading is the sum of reading due to each part

here from first scale the reading is given as

[tex]m_1 = 20 g[/tex]

from second scale the reading will be

[tex]m_2 = 0[/tex]

from third scale the reading will be

[tex]m_3 = 5.5 g[/tex]

so total reading will be

[tex]m = 20 + 0 + 5.5[/tex]

[tex]m = 25.5 g[/tex]

I believe the answer is B) 25.5 g
