Question

A body of mass 8 kg is suspended through two light springs $X$ and $Y$ connected in series as shown in figure. The reading in $X$ and $Y$ respectively are\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

B) As X and Y have negligible mass, both the spring balances read the same force $8 	imes \mathrm{g}$ or 8 kg . When massless springs are connected in series, the force is the same.\
