3. Operating the Bilateral Letter Scale Model

Once assembled, the MOC-202559 functions as a bilateral balance scale, designed to demonstrate principles of balance and measurement. It is suitable for displaying small, lightweight objects.

1. Placement: Place the assembled scale on a flat, stable surface.
2. Balancing: The scale features two arms with wheels and measurement markings. These arms are designed to balance.
3. Measurement: The scale includes markings (e.g., 0-10, 20, 30... up to 175g max) on its curved components. These indicate relative weight or balance points. You can place small objects on the platforms (as shown in Figure 3) or use the wheels as counterweights to achieve balance.
4. Observation: Observe how the scale reacts to different weights placed on its platforms or adjusted on its arms.
