Prabhu R.
A) Suppose you stand on two bathroom scales with your weight evenly distributed between the two scales. What is the reading on each of the scales? B) Suppose you stand on one scale with one leg. What is the reading on that scale? In the above cases we are dealing with two scales in part A and one scale in part B. Respond to these questions conceptually rather than mathematically.
