5. Scales don't directly measure weight. Rather, they measure what we sometimes call apparent weight - the response of the scale (or the floor, or the ground etc.) to the force applied to it. How does apparent weight depend on angle? That is, suppose we say the angle is 0° when the scale is horizontal and 90° when the scale is vertical. How does apparent weight depend on angle?
