The spring balance will have different readings on the Earth and Moon. However, the beam balance will still read the same(unless the person loses/gains weight) Explain.


spring balance

Above is a picture of a spring balance. The spring balance measures *weight by the gravitational pull from the earth.Without gravitational pull, the weighing machine cannot be used. It measures weigh in (N) Newtons.

Beam balance

Above is a picture is a beam balance. It measures **mass in kilograms(kg).

*Weight------>is measured by the gravitational pull

**Mass-------->is the amount of matter(density) inside you.
