A platform balance is used to determine the mass (or weight) of an object.
A platform balance is a form of equal-arm balance in which two flat platforms are attached to the top side of the beam, one at each end. Such a balance has a rider, or weight, mounted on a bar that has a calibrated scale, is parallel to the beam, and connects the supports of the two platforms. This rider is moved along the bar, its edge marking decimal fractions of the unit weight.

mass is different from weight
weight = mass x gravitational acceleration
what is measured in a platform balance? weight or mass?
