Resumen
- The measurement of mass in different surroundings allows one to measure the density of materials and their interaction with magnetic fields or their temperature dependence. Although most curricula cover the use of analytical scales, many leave out mass measurements in different environments. We describe some of the current instrumentation and applications in this area, including a novel and inexpensive method for measuring magnetic susceptibility.
