To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have a spring balance with a pan of mass \( m_p = 1 \, \text{kg} \) and a weight of \( m_w = 3 \, \text{kg} \) placed on it. The total weight acting on the spring is \( m_w + m_p = 3 \, \text{kg} + 1 \, \text{kg} = 4 \, \text{kg} \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Force Acting on the Spring The total force due to the weight acting on the spring can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
