A block of mass 10 kg is suspended through two light spring balances as shown in figure. Then (Neglect the mass of spring balance.)

A

Both the scales will read 10 kg

B

Both the scales will read 5Kg

C

The upper scale will read 10 kg and the lower scale zero

D

The reading may be anything but their sum will be 10 kg.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Weight of an object is the measure of gravitational force on the object. The spring balance measures that force which block produces in spring, so, it is same for both.
