A MAN OF MASS 60 KG IS STANDING ON A WEIGHING MACHINE OF MASS 5 KG PLACED ON THE GROUND .ANOTHER SAME WEIGHING MACHINE IS PLACED OVER MANS HEAD A BLOCK OF MASS 60 KG IS PUT ON THIS WEIGHING MACHINE.CALCULATE THE READINGS OF WEIGHING MACHINES 1 AND 2

Open in App

Solution

Consider the first machine
Weight on the machine = weight of the man + weight of second machine + weight of the block
= 600 N + 50 N + 600 N
= 1250 N

Consider the second machine
Weight on the machine = weight of the block
= 600 N
