Net force read by scale.
Answer to Problem 101A
The net force read by scale is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is,
Formula Used:
Component of force in the direction of
Calculation:
From the given figure the two side forces are resolved into x and y components.
The y component of the side force is,
Now, the scale will read the total force in the y direction.
So,
Conclusion:
The net force read by scale is
