Question

The two ends of a spring-balance are pulled each by a force of $10\mathrm{kg}$-wt. What will be the reading of the balance?

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

A spring balance's two ends are both pushed by a force of$10\mathrm{kg}$-wt

Step 2: Finding the reading of the balance

1. The balance will show a reading of $10\mathrm{kg}$-wt
2. The reading from the Spring balance corresponds to the force at any one end of the Spring balance.
3. At any point in time, the magnitude of the forces at the two ends will be equal.

Hence, the reading of the balance $10\mathrm{kg}$-wt.
