Mass and Weight

Measuring mass and weight of an object using a load cell.

Part of the course: Mechanics β€” Motion, Forces & Measurement

Mission

Measuring mass and weight of an object using a load cell

Variables

What you change

  • The Measured Object

What you measure

  • Weight And Mass

What you keep constant

  • Surface flatness
  • Load Cell Capacity

Equations

m=Mass (m)

g = Gravity (9.8 \frac{m}{s^2})

w = Weight (N)

w = (\frac{m}{1000}).g
