Lab: Ch. 1.3 Mass & Volume Name: Class: Date: Using a triple beam balance, determine the mass of the following regularly shaped objects. Object Mass Volume Explain why the kg triple beam balance provides the mass of an item instead of its weight. Using Archimedes’ Principle (water displacement), determine the volume of the following irregularly shaped objects. Volume Initial Water Final Water Object (from water Reading Reading displacement) Explain why water displacement is used to calculate the volume of particular objects.
