What to Measure and How. Measurement generally refers to the assigning of numbers to indicate different values of variables. If your research involved determining if there was a relationship between height and weight of dogs, it would make sense to measure the height and weight of dogs using a scale.
From this, the lower end of the operating range is determined, which translates to: Minimum weight = 2000 Ã Repeatability (S.D.) Further, 3) When the S.D. obtained is smaller than 0.41d (d = scale interval), that S.D. is replaced with. 0.41d. Minimum weight is the minimum sample quantity required to perform an accurate quantitative. analysis with the measurement error of the balance used taken into account. If the sample quantity.
Since on the Earth's surface weight and mass are proportional, for everyday usage it doesn't matter which units you use. You can say that you weigh 70kg or 686 N (not 70 N!). (But in physics, weight is a force, measured in N not kg.) What a scale actually measures depends on the type of scale. A typical bathroom scale measures force--your weight.
