5. A former student of mechanics wishes to weigh himself but has access only to a scale A with capacitylimited to 400 N and a small 80 N spring dynamometer B. With the rig shown, he discovers that when heexerts a pull on the rope so that B registers 76 N, the scale A reads 268 N. What is his mass m? Also, whatrange of weight can be measured with this system?AB

To solve this, we'll consider both scales A and B and the forces acting on them due to the person's…
