Find the reading of spring balance as shown in figure. Assume that mass $M$ is in equilibrium. All surfaces are smooth ....... $N$

A

$9$

B

$12$

C

$16$

D

$20$

Solution

From force diagram of wedge,

$N \cos 53^{\circ}=k x_{0}$     $…(i)$

From force diagram of smaller block$:$

$N=m g \cos 37^{\circ}$

$K x_{0}=N \cos 53^{\circ}$

$k x_{0}=m g \cos 37^{\circ} \cos 53^{\circ}$

$k x_{0}=2.5 \times 10 \times 0.8 \times 0.6=12 N$
