As shown in the figure, two equal masses each of `2kg` are suspended from a spring balance. The reading of the spring balance will be.

A

Zero

B

`2kg`

C

`4kg`

D

Between zero and `2kg`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In this case, one `2kg` wt on the left will act as the support for the spring balance. Hence its reading will be `2kg` .
