Abutcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg. how would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once

Answer and Explanation:

The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.
