Inertia Balance – Measure Mass Without Gravity
The INERTBAL Inertia Balance from United Scientific is a precision tool for demonstrating Newton’s First Law and calculating inertial mass independent of gravity. It features two platforms connected by flexible steel arms—one fixed, the other free to oscillate. As mass is added to the free end, oscillation slows, allowing mass determination through period comparison. Includes a 42-foot string for suspended mass testing and an activity guide for classroom use.
