A balance scale uses a weighing plate and a counter. It typically does not matter which plate is used for which purpose.
Begin by placing the item to be weighed on one plate. Place the calibrated counter weights on the opposite plate, beginning with smaller weights, and continue until the item being weighed begins to rise. As the two plate reach the same level, the scale balances, and you have determined the weight of your item.
