Question
A block of mass 10 kg is attached to the end of two light spring balances combination as shown in figure. What mass will each spring reads? (assume springs are collaborated so that its reading provides the mass)

Solution
The correct option is A 10 kg
A spring balance measures Tension of the string attached to it,these spring balance in the question are massless themselves.
Since equilibrium so
T = mg
T = 100 N
Tension in the upper string will be same as the spring balance is massless.
This meansthe reading that spring balance will give is
T/g =(10010) = 10 kg each.
So both spring balance will read the same 10 Kg.
10 kg
