Weighing scale
A weighing scale (usually just "scale" in common usage) is a device for measuring the weight of an object. These scales are often used to measure the weight of a person, and are also used in science to obtain the mass of an object, and in many industrial and commercial applications to determine the weight of things ranging from feathers to loaded tractor-trailers.
