A block of mass 20 kg is suspended through two spring balance as shown in figure. Since, it is given that, spring balances has negligible mass. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/029cfa0969f55474b8bb285dcc5eea4d-.png" /> So, T1=200 N T2=200 N and T3=200 N i.e., tension in both suspended balances is some. So each has reading of 20 kg.

Q. A block of mass $20 k g$ is suspended through two spring balances with negligible mass as shown in figure. What will be the readings in the upper and lower balance respectively?

0 kg, 20 kg

10 kg, 20 kg

20 kg, 10 kg

10 kg, 10 kg

20 kg, 20 kg

A block of mass $20 k g$ is suspended through two spring balance as shown in figure. Since, it is given that, spring balances has negligible mass.

So, $T_{1} = 200 N$
$T_{2} = 200 N$
and $T_{3} = 200 N$
i.e., tension in both suspended balances is some. So each has reading of $20 k g$ .
