Homework Statement
The question shows two 5kg masses at rest hanging from two pulleys on opposite ends of a table. The string is massless and the pulley is frictionless.
Homework Equations
They want to know what the spring scale reads (in the middle of the masslessstring).
The Attempt at a Solution
This is what I thought:
Fspring= w=mg
5kg*9.8m/s^2= 49N
This answer was wrong.
Would the answer be 98N since both masses are the same?
