burl the painter weighs 600 newtons. he dangles from one side of the stage. there are two scale readings attached to the two cords holding up the stage. the image shows a painter hanging off the right of a scaffold that is hanging with two ropes on each end. each rope has a spring scale, the left side measure 0 n. what is the weight measured by the scale on the right? (2 points) 0 n 300 n 600 n 1200 n

Respuesta :

The weight measured by the scale on the right is 600 N.

option C is the correct answer.

What is equilibrium of forces?

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;

  • W₁ is the weight on the left scale = 0 N
  • W₂ is the weight on the right scale = ?

W₂ = 600 N - W₁

W₂ = 600 N - 0 N

W₂ = 600 N
