A fish weighing 16 N is weighed using two spring scales, each of negligible weight, as shown in the figure. What will be the readings of the scales? (weight as used here is defined as the force that the Earth exerts on an object) Each scale will read 16 N. The bottom scale will read 16 N, and the top scale will read zero. Each scale will read 8 N. The top scale will read 16 N, and the bottom scale will read zero. The scales will have different readings, but the sum of the two readings will be 16 N. O O O O O
