What is the first step in using a balance beam scale?

A. Zero the balance
B. Record the mass values
C. Put the mass on the tray
D. Use the counterweights and dial to balance the scale

A then c then b then d but it might be mising a step

What is meant by balance scale ?
Balance scales , commonly referred to as weighing scales or **mass **scales, are tools used to calculate the **weight **or **mass **of an object.
Here,
The **principle **of balance , which states that two items of **equal weight **will **balance **each other out when placed on opposing sides of a fulcrum , is the foundation upon which the balance scales are based.
The **pillar **is made vertical by adjusting the levelling screws at the base . By **rotating **the handle, the **beam **is slowly lifted . If the pointer does not **oscillate **almost **equally **on each side of the middle division of the scale, the nuts at the ends of the **beam **should be adjusted appropriately.
The **balance **scale is set up and **weighed **using a clean piece of weighing paper . This **reading **is the first .
Hence,
The **first **step in using a balance beam scale is placing the **mass **on the tray. So, option C.

The first step in using a balance beam scale is to zero the balance to ensure accurate measurements. This process involves pressing a button to calibrate the scale before placing the object on the tray. Zeroing the balance eliminates prior weight influences, leading to precise mass readings.
