Weights can be measures using a balance. An unknown quantiy of a given material is balced on one side while small metal wieghts of known weights are placed on the other. This continues until the scale balances. Once balances you add up the values of the small metal weights you placed on the balance and you have the weight of the material.

You can measure how an unknown weight compares to a known weight. The result will be that the unknown weight is either >,< , or = to the known weight.
