  1. Reads a smaller value than the weight of the box( weightlessness)
    (reading reduces/ moves(deflects) to the left/ anticlockwise
  2. Reads the actual weight of the box/ reading remains constant/ nothing happens/ pointer remains stationary
  3. Reads a value bigger(greater/ higher) than the weight of the box./ Reading increases/ meter moves(deflects) to the right/ clockwise 
    (deny "mass of the box")
