'A fish weighing 16 Nis weighed using two spring scales, each of negligible weight; as shownin the figure. What will be the readings of the scales? (weight used here is defined as the force that the Earth exerts on an object) Each scale will read 16 N. The bottom scale will read 16 N,and the top scale will read zero. Each scale will read 8 N: The top scale will read 16 N,and the bottom scale will read zero. The scales will have different readings, but the sum of the two readings will be 16N.'

Two masses are attached to a spring scale. If both masses are 1kg, which force in newton's would the scale read?

A 50.0 -kg crate is suspended between the floor and the ceiling using two spring scales, one attached to the ceiling and one to the floor. If the lower scale reads $120 \mathrm{N},$ what is the reading of the upper scale? Ignore the weight of the scales.
