Which scale reading can change if you move it to a place with different gravity?
AA spring scale
BA pan balance
CA beam balance
DA lever balance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A spring scale
1. A spring scale measures the pull of gravity on the object.
2. Gravity differs slightly between places on Earth, by up to 0.5 percent.
3. A pan balance compares masses on both sides, so gravity changes both equally and it stays accurate.
