Burl the painter weighs 600 newtons. he stands in the exact middle of his stage. there are two scale readings attached to the two cords holding up the stage.

the image shows a painter standing in the middle of a scaffold that is hanging with two ropes on each end. each rope has a spring scale.

what is the weight measured by each scale?

200 n
300 n
600 n
1200 n

T = 300 N

Explanation:

As we know that the painter is standing at the middle of the scaffold

So here the two ropes will exert same tension on the scaffold

So we will have

also we know

so we will have

so tension is half of the weight in both the strings

So it is

T = 300 N

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
