Questions and Answers

What is the formula for gravitational force as expressed in the text?

  • F = m - g
  • F = m · g (correct)
  • F = m / g
  • F = m + g

In the context of mass measurement, what is the purpose of the compensation force F_c?

  • It creates a displacement in the surrounding air.
  • It attracts the object to be weighed.
  • It opposes the gravitational force.
  • It compensates for the buoyancy force. (correct)

What factors influence the buoyancy force according to the text?

  • Pressure, temperature, and humidity (correct)
  • Density of the medium and gravitational acceleration
  • Density of atmospheric air and density of reference weights
  • Density of the object and volume of air displaced
