Beaker and tripod are commonly used equipment in a chemistry lab.
A beaker is a cylindrical piece of equipment and is made of glass. It has a flat bottom and graduations on its side. Beakers are so called because they have a small beak or spout, for pouring liquids, on the rim. They come in various sizes, such as 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml, etc. Beakers are commonly used for mixing various liquids. Another application of beakers is in heating liquids. This is accomplished by placing the beaker over a tripod stand with a Bunsen burner underneath it.
A tripod is a three-legged (and hence the name) laboratory equipment commonly used for heating liquid contained in a glassware (such as beaker, conical flask, etc.). They are also used for storing (temporarily) any glassware containing hot liquids.
Hope this helps.
