Weight of object as measured on spring scales

[dink87522]

The system below is in equilibrium with m = 6.2kg. The spring scales are in Newton units.

I'm not sure what the spring scales would show in this case. Is it simply 0?

the scale would read 6.2 kg i am pretty sure , think of it this way , that is no different
then having the scale tied to the wall and hanging a 6.2kg from it off the other end .
