Answer:

No, they would not be balanced because their weights would change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the effect that gravitational pull has on objects on Earth whereas mass is how much matter there is in an object. Mass does not change despite gravitational pull, but the force of gravity (weight) is different depending on where you are.
