A stone is attached at the end of a spring balance. The pointer shows 5 kg wt. Now the spring balance is released such that it is free to fall under the effect of gravity, the pointer will now give a reading equivalent to

more than 5 kg wt

Solution

The correct option is D zero
since the spring balance and stone system is in free fall so the spring balance will not experience any force from stone and hence ready will be zero.
so the answer is D.

A spring balance A shows a reading of 2 kg, when an aluminium block is suspended from it. Another balance B shows a reading of 5 kg, when a beaker full of liquid is placed in its pan. The two balances are arranged such that the Al – block is completely immersed inside the liquid as shown in the figure. Then

The spring balance A reads 2kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B reads 5 kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass is inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure in this situation:
