 The substance to be weighed is placed in one scale-pan, and weights of known magnitude are placed in the other till the beam remains in equilibrium in a perfectly horizontal position, in which case the weight of the substance is indicated by the weights...

...and the beam will remain horizontal. If a small addition be made to the weight in one of the scales, the horizontality of the beam will be disturbed ; and after oscillating for some time, it will, on attaining a state of rest, form an angle with the horizon, the extent of which... | |
