We’ve already investigated this problem with one spring scale in Think About 34.1. Now, imagine you have two spring scales, A an

d B, connected at the end of the scale that doesn’t move. The end that moves of each spring scale (where you take readings from) is attached to a string that goes over a pulley and connects to a 1 kg mass for both spring scales A and B. 1 kg 1 kg Spring Scale A Spring Scale B (a) State what you think each spring scale will read in this situation. (b) Construct a logical argument that explains why the spring scales read

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

1.Each of the spring scale will read 10N,considering acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s^2

2.Each of the spring scale will read 10N because each string exerts a force of 10 N to counterbalance the force of 1 kg mass attached to it. This means the tension on the both side of the string is 10 N. So the scale will read 10 N. Also as spring balances are attached in series and kept on table so both spring balances will read same readings.
