Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Calculating the mass of an object using the Triple Beam Balance ...
To solve the problem of determining the total mass of each object using the information provided in the image, we need to read the values from the three beams of the triple beam balance and sum them up. The triple beam balance consists of:

1. The largest beam (typically measures hundreds of grams).
2. The middle beam (typically measures tens of grams).
3. The smallest beam (typically measures single grams and tenths of grams).

Step-by-Step Solution:



#### Problem 1:
- Largest beam: The pointer is at 70 grams.
- Middle beam: The pointer is at 50 grams.
- Smallest beam: The pointer is at 4.6 grams.

Total mass = 70 grams + 50 grams + 4.6 grams = 124.6 grams

#### Problem 2:
- Largest beam: The pointer is at 30 grams.
- Middle beam: The pointer is at 100 grams.
- Smallest beam: The pointer is at 3.4 grams.

Total mass = 30 grams + 100 grams + 3.4 grams = 133.4 grams

#### Problem 3:
- Largest beam: The pointer is at 60 grams.
- Middle beam: The pointer is at 400 grams.
- Smallest beam: The pointer is at 7.8 grams.

Total mass = 60 grams + 400 grams + 7.8 grams = 467.8 grams

Final Answers:


1. The mass is 124.6 grams
2. The mass is 133.4 grams
3. The mass is 467.8 grams

Boxed Final Answers:


\[
\boxed{124.6 \text{ grams}, 133.4 \text{ grams}, 467.8 \text{ grams}}
\]
