Two 50 N weights are attached to a spring scale as shown. What is the reading on the scale if the system is in equilibrium

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Each 50 N weight pulls its side of the rope with 50 N, so the tension throughout the rope (and inside the spring scale) is 50 N.

The scale reads the tension in its spring, which is 50 N - not the sum of the two pulls (one weight plays the role of a fixed support).

Correct option: (D).
