Slotted weights are small, flat metal weights that are typically used in physics experiments, especially those involving force measurement or mass calibration. The weights have a slot in the center, which allows them to be stacked on a vertical rod or hook. By adding or removing these weights, you can precisely adjust the total mass being applied to an object, making them ideal for use with spring balances, pulleys, or other apparatus in experiments related to mechanics, gravity, and motion.
They are often found in educational labs, where they help demonstrate concepts like force, weight, and equilibrium.
