The Little Balance” (La Balancitta) is a scientific work written by Galileo Galilei during his early career. The concept of specific gravity and its measurement as described in “The Little Balance” by Galileo Galilei is related to force indirectly through the principle of buoyancy and Archimedes’ principle. Archimedes’ method for determining specific gravity entails comparing an object’s weight in air to its apparent weight when submerged in water.
