Question
I'm not sure how to calculate the mass of the object in the photo.
![**Title: Calculating the Mass of an Object Using a Triple Beam Balance**
**Problem Statement:**
25. What would be the mass of the object measured in the picture?
**Description:**
The image displays a close-up view of a triple beam balance with three beams:
1. **Top Beam (0-100g scale):** The pointer is at the 70g mark.
2. **Middle Beam (0-500g scale):** The pointer is at the 200g mark.
3. **Bottom Beam (10g scale):** The pointer is at the 3.5g mark.
To find the total mass, you need to add the measurements from each beam together.
**Explanation of Graphs/Diagrams:**
- **Top Beam:** This beam measures from 0 to 100 grams. In the image, the rider is positioned at the 70g mark.
- **Middle Beam:** This beam measures from 0 to 500 grams. The rider is positioned at the 200g mark.
- **Bottom Beam:** This beam measures fine adjustments from 0 to 10 grams. The rider is positioned at the 3.5g mark.
**Calculation:**
To find the total mass of the object, add the values from each beam:
\[
70\, \text{g} \quad (\text{Top Beam}) + 200\, \text{g} \quad (\text{Middle Beam}) + 3.5\, \text{g} \quad (\text{Bottom Beam}) = 273.5\, \text{g}
\]
**Answer:**
\[
273.5\, \text{g}
\]
**Fill in the blanks:**
\[
70 \quad + \quad 200 \quad + \quad 3.5 \quad = \quad 273.5 \, \text{g}
\]
By using a triple beam balance correctly and reading each beam's measurement accurately, you can determine the precise mass of objects.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7c26bc38-ff75-4a15-92a9-f794635ee6b3%2F1ed2b262-4f80-40a8-bea1-49ba532fb3f2%2Fvbg0tso.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
