Praxis 5005 Practice Question
Of the following, which is the most appropriate to use for measuring mass?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Measuring mass requires a device specifically designed for that purpose. A triple beam balance accurately measures mass by comparing an object to known weights, making it the most appropriate choice.
A tape measure (Option A) is used for measuring length, not mass. A graduated cylinder (Option B) measures volume, typically of liquids, and is not suitable for mass measurement. A stopwatch (Option C) measures time, which is unrelated to mass. Thus, the triple beam balance is the only option that directly measures mass accurately.
