A body of mass 8 kg is suspended through two light springs X and Y connected in series as shown in figure. The readings is X and Y respectively are :

A

8 kg, zero

B

Zero, 8 kg

C

8 kg, 8 kg

D

2 kg, 6 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since, X and Y have negligible mass, both the spring balances read the same mass 8 kg and 8 kg.
