A light spring balance hangs from the hook of the other light spring balance and a block of mass M kg hangs from the former one. Then the true statement about the scale reading is

A

Both the scales read M/2 kg each

B

Both the scales read M kg each

C

The scale of the lower one reads M kg and of the upper one zero

D

The reading of the two scales can be anything but the sum of the reading will be M kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the spring balance are massless therefore both the scales read M kg each.
