Main ideas / lessons

  • The video explains how to measure mass using Ohaus (Neraca Ohaus) balances by reading the sliding weights (“sliding load”) to find the equilibrium line at zero.
  • It introduces different types of balances, then focuses on:
    • 3-arm Ohaus balance
    • 4-arm Ohaus balance
  • Core procedure across both (3- and 4-arm):
    1. Calibrate/zero the balance using the calibration screw/knob.
    2. Place the object on the load container plate.
    3. Move the sliding load step-by-step:
      • From the largest scale toward the smallest scale
      • Until the balance line (equilibrium) aligns with zero
    4. Read the value from each scale (largest → smallest) and add them to get the final mass in grams.

Method / step-by-step instructions (detailed)

A) Types of balances (overview)

  • Spring balance
    • Uses a spring
    • Units mentioned: Newton and grams
    • Object is measured by hanging it.
  • Ohaus balance (mechanical)
    • Object is placed on the plate
    • Measurement is manual by shifting the sliding load along the balance arm(s).
  • Digital balance
    • Object is placed on the plate
    • Result is read directly from the screen.

B) Parts of the Ohaus balance (to understand usage)

  • Load container plate: where the object is placed.
  • Sliding load: moved along the balance arm to counterbalance the object.
  • Arms/scales (depends on 2-arm/3-arm/4-arm model)
    • For 3-arm: hundreds scale, tens scale, units (smallest) scale
    • The sliding load is moved progressively from largest to smallest.
  • Calibration screw / calibration knob
    • Used to ensure the equilibrium line is at zero before measurement.

C) Steps to read measurement results (general)

  1. Calibrate (zero) the balance
    • If the equilibrium line is not aligned with zero, turn the calibration screw until it is.
  2. Place the object
    • Put the object on the load container plate.
  3. Slide the sliding load from largest scale to smallest
    • Start with the largest scale
    • Move it until the equilibrium line approaches zero
    • If it passes zero, adjust back slightly
    • Then repeat for the next scale (tens), and finally the smallest scale (units/decimal)
  4. Read values
    • Read each scale corresponding to the final position of the sliding load
    • Add all readings together to obtain the mass (grams)

Reading specifics: Ohaus 3-arm balance

Scale meaning (as described)

  • Largest scale = hundreds
  • Second scale = tens
  • Smallest scale = units/decimal

Example process shown (cone / “kerucut”)

  • The sliding load is adjusted until the equilibrium line is at zero.
  • Final reading described:
    • Hundreds scale: 500
    • Tens scale: 40
    • Unit scale: 2
  • Final calculation stated:
    • 500 + 40 + 2 = 542 grams
  • (The subtitles contain garbling around intermediate arithmetic, but the stated final result is 542 g.)

Example process shown (lamp)

  • Adjust sliding load from largest → tens → smallest until zero is reached.
  • Final reading described:
    • Hundreds scale: 200 g
    • Tens scale: 40 g
    • Unit scale: 5.6 g
  • Final calculation stated:
    • 200 + 40 + 5.6 = 25.6 g
  • (Subtitles are inconsistent in arithmetic; the spoken conclusion is that the lamp’s mass is 25.6 g.)

Reading specifics: Ohaus 4-arm balance

General rule (same as 3-arm)

  • Slide the sliding load from the largest scale first to the smallest scale until the equilibrium line is at zero.
  • Read from largest scale → next → next → smallest, then add.

Example reading 1 (4-arm)

  • Scales described include values like:
    • Largest: 100 g
    • Next: 80 g
    • Next: 4 g
    • Smallest: 0.5 g
  • Final result stated: 184.5 g

Example reading 2 (another 4-arm case)

  • Values described as:
    • Largest: 200 g
    • Next: 50 g
    • Next: 9 g
    • Smallest decimal: 0.3 g
  • Final result stated: 259.3 g
