Question

A 2 kg barbell is put on the left pan, and a 5 kg barbell is put on the right pan of a balance scale. On which side will the balance tilt?

• A. Left side
• B. Right side
• C. The balance will not tilt to any side.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Right side

A balance scale tilts towards the heavier side.

A 2 kg weight plate is put on the left pan, and a 5 kg weight plate is put on the right pan.

Now, 5 kg > 2 kg

So, the balance will tilt towards the right side.
