1. A method of calibrating a force balance, the method comprising:

  • providing a force balance to be calibrated;

    operably interconnecting a mass of a known magnitude to the force balance whereby acceleration forces acting on the mass are reacted solely by the force balance;

    causing the mass to accelerate at a known rate while the mass is moving to generate a force on the force balance;

    determining an expected force acting on the force balance based on the magnitude of the mass and the known acceleration of the mass;

    adjusting an output of the force balance to provide a measured force that is substantially equal to the expected force.
