Technically, all scales measure the amount of force exerted on it. force is calculated by the equation F=ma. On a scale that you would use to weigh yourself, the acceleration is constant, that is, the acceleration used by gravity, 9.8m/s^2. When the acceleration is constant, scales can also be used to measure mass.
