Solution

Beam balance Physical balance
1. A beam balance consists of a horizontal beam which is supported at its center. 1. Physical balance is utilized for the precision mass measurement .
2. Two pans of equal masses are suspended from both ends of the beam. 2. A physical balance can measure accurately upto a milligram.
3. The object is kept on one side and the standard masses on the other. 3. It is provided with a box of standard masses ranging from 1 mg to 100 g.
4. When both the pans are equally loaded the beam is horizontal and the pointer points vertically up at the center.

4. It works on the same principle as that of the beam balance.
