Answer:

Weight and reaction.

Explanation:

With respect to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction have equal magnitude but acts in opposite direction.

Thus, the brick of mass 10 kg has its weight (due to gravitational pull of the earth), which acts downwards through its center of mass. This makes the scale to produce an opposing force of equal magnitude, which acts upwards. These two forces acting in opposite directions balancing each other.

The two forces acting on the brick are: its weight and the reaction from the scale.

ira [324]
The appropriate PPE(personal protective equipment) to be worn for foot protection against electric shock is boots retrofitted with rubber soles. Rubber does not conduct electricity and so will safeguard against electric shocks.

Other personal protective equipment used in a lab or industry can include safety glasses, rubber gloves, protective clothing and masks and respirators. PPE goes hand in hand with personal behaviour, personal grooming and housekeeping.
