Question
(a) An 11.0 kg salami is supported by a cord that runs to
a spring scale, which is supported by a cord hung from the ceiling
.What is the reading on the scale, which is marked in SI
weight units? (This is a way to measure weight by a deli owner.) (b)
In the salami is supported by a cord that runs around a
pulley and to a scale.The opposite end of the scale is attached by a
cord to a wall.What is the reading on the scale? (This is the way by
a physics major.) (c) the wall has been replaced with a
second 11.0 kg salami, and the assembly is stationary.What is the reading on the scale? (This is the way by a deli owner who was
once a physics major.)
