Explain how a triple-beam balance works. Would such a balance that functions properly on the earth yield the correct mass of an object on the moon? Why or why not?
It works by finding balance.
It has a plate on which objects are placed to determine the mass.
This object together with the plate exert a torque
where:
mass of the object
acceleration of gravity
distance from the fulcrum.
each of the three arms corresponds to a scale
The idea is that the sum of the torques generated by each arm
equals the torque generated by the unknown mass. In this way,
knowing the distances and the masses, the value of M is
obtained
each beam corresponds to a scale.
First scale of 0 to 10 grams
where:
reference mass.
It is the position of the graduated scale, which indicates the
equivalent mass (object) to be in balance
the acceleration of gravity
Second scale of 10 grams a100
This scale is equal position represents only the unknown object
mass between 10 and 100 g
third scale of 100 to 500 grams
This scale is equal position represents only the unknown object mass between 100 and 10 g
when positioning the three masses so that this balanced with the object, measures the scales are added and the unknown mass is obtained
example
with the system in balance
Assuming each mass is located in a position that indicates the following
Finally
physically it holds that
simplifying g
the equation that governs the machine does not depend on gravity but the ratio of torque produced by the masses, thus the measurement on the moon should be equal to the measured on earth

How far away is the Moon at apogee if a reflected beam of light takes 2.70 seconds to travel from Earth to the Moon and back? The speed of light is c=3x108 m/s. (Hint: You need to use the definition for the average speed of an object and DON’T FORGET THAT THE TIME GIVEN IN THE PROBLEM IS THE TIME THAT THE BEAM OF LIGHT TRAVELS TWICE THE DISTANCE FROM EARTH TO THE MOON.)
