A pulley is attached to the ceiling (as shown in the figure below). Spring scale A is attached to the wall and a rope runs horizontally from it and over the pulley. The same rope is then attached to spring scale B. On the other side of scale B hangs an W = 75-N weight. What are the readings of the two scales A and B? The weights of the scales are negligible.
