It shows that the scale on the left was measuring the force of gravity (weight) not mass. On earth the spring was standardized to read 100g at sea level. A true balance beam (like a triple beam balance you use at school) measures mass by balancing the scale against a known (standardized) mass.

Mass and Weight ... We often use the terms "mass" and "weight" interchangeably in our daily speech, but to an astronomer or a physicist they are completely different things. The mass of a body is a measure of how much matter it contains.

They do not care if the object being referred to as weighing 100 pounds (or grams) is on the earth or on the moon - what they are really doing is using "weight" to mean mass. Which is fine with everybody, since everybody understands it the same way.

If you're not really sure what are the differences between mass and weight, this section would be the best place to find out. ... Mostly, a physical object has the same amount of matter, and so it has the same or a constant mass. But weight may be different because the weight is based on the gravity. Which means,
