Beam balances are used to compare masses rather than weights. a. (i) Distinguish between gravitational mass and weight. b. (ii) Using the working principle of a beam balance, explain why its reading does not change when the balance is moved from the plains to a high altitude where gg is smaller. c. (iii) State any two practical precautions that must be taken to obtain accurate results while using a beam balance in a laboratory.
