If your standing on a scale and push down on a sink next to you how does the reading on the scale chage?

The number will lower because you are lifting yourself up, thus causing the number on the scale to go down. The force of you pushing on the sink is the counter force to the gravitational force of your body. This means your putting force on the sink and going up.
Hope I helped! ;)

What is the weight in elevator with spring scale when it go up?
If the elevator is moving uniformly, the spring scale should record the same weight when it's going up as it does when it's standing still.If the elevator is accelerating (speeding up or slowing down), the spring scale will record a greater or lesser weight respectively.
Suppose that a 50.0 kg woman were standing on a bathroom scale in this elevator car what would the scale read?
On the way up:-Before the car started moving, it would read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-When the car started moving up, the scale would read more, until the car achieved its normal upward speed.-As long as the car maintained its steady normal speed, the scale would again read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-As the car approached its destination level and began to slow down, the scale would read less, until the car stopped.-When the car stopped, the scale reading would return to its normal 490 newtons (110 pounds).On the way down:-Before the car started moving, it would read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-When the car started moving down, the scale would read less, until the car achieved its normal downward speed.-As long as the car maintained its steady normal speed, the scale would again read 490 newtons (110 pounds).-As the car approached its destination level and began to slow down, the scale would read more, until the car stopped.-When the car stopped, the scale reading would return to its normal 490 newtons (110 pounds).================================All numbers are rounded. Acceleration of gravity is taken to be 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2.
If you are standing on a scale holding 1 pound of water and then drink the 1 pound of water does your weight change?
Your weight, or the weight registered on the scale? Your weight will increase by one pound, but the weight registered on the scale will remain the same. If you stand on the scale, note your weight, pick up the water (using a very light, perhaps paper cup), note the weight after you are holding the water, and then drink, and put down the cup, you will see what happens.
Does a scale show weight or mass?
It shows the weight, however, by convention we graduate the scale in mass units. The scale is assuming that you are standing on Earth. When you step on a scale the gravity pulls you down, which is called weight. Weight is based on the gravity force. Mass is the amount of stuff inside your body. Which won't change because of gravity. If you go to the moon your weight will be less because the moon has less gravity. Mass will stay the same. Unless you lose one your body parts while on the trip to the moon.
How do you find the refractive index of a liquid in a beaker by using a traveling microscope?
It is very simple. First let us fix a pin at the bottom of an empty beaker. Now focus at the pin and note down the reading in the vertical scale as R1. Now pour the given liquid and once again focus the pin and note down the reading R2. Now sprinkle saw dust over the surface of liquid and focus at the dust and note down the reading R3. Now refractive index of the liquid = actual depth / apparent depth So mu of liquid = R3-R1 / R3-R2
Is an infinity reading on a megger '0' or is it down around the 1000 range at the other end of the scale?
Infinity is the reading when the meter is pegged at the opposite end of the scale from '0'. The symbol for infinity looks like the number 8 laying on its side.
When you wheelie do you stand up or sit down?
I would think you could do it either ways, for you can do it on a skateboard standing up, or on a wheelchair sitting down. If you can't do it on a wheelchair then only standing up. But you never know Peace to whoever is reading this answer!!

What is the weight in elevator with spring scale when it go up?

How do you get the scale from hydra on poptropica?
You go to the hydra and when it snaps at you, you jump on its head and it passes out for a while and when you made all of them pass out you jump down to the rock its standing on and collect the scale but make sure that all of them are asleep before you jump down because they will snap at you.
How do you calculate the reading of the screwguage?
1.First let us know the pitch of the screw.It can be find by rotating the head scale one complete from the starting point taking down the reading of the screwguage.The reading on the screwgauge.=2.Now let us find the least count of the screwgauge by the fomulae=
What does 14.65 ohms equal on the 20k setting. I got no reading on the lower settings?
The reading of 14.65 on the 20k setting means 14.65K Ohms, and you probably need to go back and re-read the instructions for the meter. If, for instance, you used a 2M scale, if you had one, you would get 0.014, but the result would not be very accurate, as you need to pick a range that is close to maximum reading for that range. It is normal procedure to start with a high range and come down in range as you approach an on scale reading.
What meter range to measure unknown voltage?
Always start with the highest scale, than work your way down until you get a midscale reading. If you start with a low scale, you will overrange the meter, which can damage it in severe cases (especially the older analog meter movements).
What falls standing up and runs laying down?
A river. It falls a waterfall (standing up) and runs lying down.
How do you play a tc baritone scale sheet?
You play it as written in concert pitch. For example, the C scale will show 2 sharps, but you play it as a C scale, no flats/no sharps. You have to transpose the notes down a step, so you will actually be playing a C and reading a D. It would be easier to learn to read bass clef!
