Question

A body of mass 8 kg is suspended through two light springs X and Y connected in series as shown in figure. The readings in X and Y respectively are (A) zero, 8 kg (B) 6 kg, 2 kg (C) 2 kg, 6 kg (D) 8 kg, 8 kg

As the springs are light in weight, therefore tension in both springs will be zero. So both spring will show same reading as 8 kg.

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

zero, $8 k g$

$6 k g$ , $2 k g$

$2 k g$ , $6 k g$

$8 k g$ , $8 k g$

As the springs are light in weight, therefore tension in both springs will be zero. So both spring will show same reading as $8 k g$ .

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

zero, 8kg

6kg, 2kg

2kg, 6kg
