How does the mass of the same object differ when using different balances?

How and why?How does the mass of the same object differ when using different balances?
Depending on the kind of scale you use, you will measure either the object's mass, which doesn't vary, or weight, which will vary if the object is measured at widely varying locations on the earth's surface or at different elevations above sea level. A spring balance or an electronic balance using a load cell will measure weight. A beam balance will compare the unknown mass with known masses and a system of levers, so truly measures mass instead of weight.How does the mass of the same object differ when using different balances?
sorry, mass never changes


mass = amount of stuff in an object





maybe u r talking about weight
