The invention relates to a weight measuring apparatus utilizing a vibration type force sensor having a greatly increased Q and being inexpensive and easy to manufacture. The force sensor includes a single vibratory beam or a pair of vibratory beams, which oscillate at a particular measurement frequency related to the stress applied to the sensor by a weight. A rotational mass is coupled to a nodal point of the vibratory beam at the measurement frequency, and greatly influences the frequency at which the beam will vibrate.
