What will be the reading of the spring balance in the given setup? (take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2\) )

1. \(60~\text N\)
2. \(40~\text N\)
3. \(50~\text N\)
4. \(80~\text N\)
| 1. | \(\dfrac g 3\) to left, \(g\) upward, \(g\) downward. |
| 2. | zero, zero, \(g\) downward. |
| 3. | zero, \(g\) upward, \(g\) downward. |
| 4. | \(g\) to right, zero, \(g\) downward. |
