Best Answer

Before you begin using an equal arm balance, you must make sure the riders are an equal distance apart, and make sure the balance is balanced. Then, place the object(s) on one side of the balance, and the object(s) that you want to compare them to. Whichever object is closer to the ground is heavier. If the objects are equally levelled, they have equal mass.
