    Tension - Two Masses
    Can someone please help me to understand this problem?

    Two 100-N weights are attached to a scale as shown. What is the reading on the scale? (I have attached the picture)


    The correct answer is 100N but I do not understand why it is not 200N.

    I do not understand why it is not zero as they are balancing each other
