Interpretation:
The reason for top-loading balance to be a poor choice to weigh
Concept introduction:
Balances and scales are used in the laboratory to compare mass of two sets of objects or determine mass of an object or set of objects. Most common types of balances utilized in the laboratory are spring balances and top-loading.
Explanation of Solution
A top-loading balance is the most common type of weight measurement scales used in the laboratory and comes with a variety of shapes, sizes, and levels of complexity. But the top-loading is only accurate to
