The Rongjiang market, Guizhou Province, China is a typical market for this southern area of China and is frequented by a number of the ethnic minority tribes in the area.. You can buy almost anything here including meat (pork and chicken mostly), fruit and vegetables, cooked food, charcoal for cooking, live fish, spices, clothing, sweets, utensils, and much more. A traditional Chinese static equilibrium torque scale is being used at the Rongjiang market. I saw several different torque scales being used at the market. In this example, a large bag of produce is being weight but the scale can also be used for lighter weight objects that are placed in the pan you can see hanging from the beam.. A weight is suspended from a loop on the weighing beam and the hanging weigh is moved closer or further away from the pivot point until the beam is parallel to ground level. The weight can then be read at a marking where the weight is hanging, or can be calculated by a simple formula if you know the weight of the movable weight and the distance between it and the pivot point when the beam is level.
