On a spring scale that measures force, a reading shows the force of an object to be about halfway between 7 N and 8 N. Which of the following would be the most accurate measurement for the force?

0.0075
N 0.7 5
N 750
N 7.5 N

Only 7.5 would be correctly positioned between 7 and 8.

Suggestion: Next time, present your answer choices as

0.0075 N

0.75 N

750 N

7.5 N

It's difficult to determine what you meant by "N 7.5 N."

Answer:

7.5 Newton

Explanation:

we are given two forces

F1=7 Newton

F2=8 newton

we have to tell halfway of these forces

in other words we have to find mid point of these forces

we know formula of midpoint is

Midpoint=
(a1+a2)/(2)

putting the given values of F1 and F2 in the formula we get

Midpoint=
(7+8)/(2)

Midpoint=
(15)/(2)

Midpoint=7.5

Hence 7.5 Newton is closest force
