Question

question 3 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (12.04 lc) which tool is most appropriate for measuring the mass of a small feather? \bigcirc pan balance \bigcirc meter stick \bigcirc graduated cylinder \bigcirc digital scale

Explanation:

• A pan balance compares masses but may not be precise for very light objects like a small feather.
• A meter stick measures length, not mass.
• A graduated cylinder measures volume (of liquids or irregular solids via displacement), not mass.
• A digital scale can measure small masses with precision, making it appropriate for a small feather.

Answer:

D. Digital scale
