any desirable limits. We have supposed that thecentre of gravity coincides with the fulcrum; when this isnot the case, the weight of the instrument must be takeninto account as a force applied at its centre of gravity. Wemay then graduate the beam by experiment, or we maycompute the lever arms,… … an equilibrium is established between the two; the cor-responding mark on the beam will indicate the weight. The bent Lever Balance. 83. This balance consists of a bent lever A CJB; afulcrum C; a scale-panD; and a graduated arcEF, whose centre co-incides with the centreof motion C. When aweight is…
