The weight measured by the scale on the right is 600 N.
option C is the correct answer.
The forces acting on an object exists in a state of equilibrium when all the forces taking in a particular direction equals each other.
For instance, if an object placed on horizontal surface is at rest, then the upward force on the object is equal to the downward force on the object.
Also, an object tends to move in the direction of the resultant force or net force acting on the object.
The weight or reading on the two scales must be equal to the weight of the painter.
The weight measured by the scale on the right is calculated as follows;
600 N = W₁ + W₂
where;
W₂ = 600 N - W₁
W₂ = 600 N - 0 N
W₂ = 600 N
