A different scaffold that weighs 400 N supports two painters, one 500 N and the other 400 N. The reading in the left scale is 800 N. What is the reading in the righth and
scale?

subodh · Accepted Answer

The total upward force = total downward force 800N + X = 400 N + 500N + 400N 800N+X=1300N X=1300-800 x=500N
