22. EQUAL ARM BALANCE


-Equal Arm Balance was designed to
be used in a vertical position to
compare weights hung vertically
from it to standard weights. This balance can also be
used in a horizontal (or vertical) position to show that
torques about its axis of rotation must be of the same
magnitude if it is to remain in an equilibrium position.
The Balance can be used with hanging weights or
with applied forces measured with spring scales.
