FIGURE CP7.57 shows a 200 g hamster sitting on an 800 g

Chapter 7, Problem 7.91

(choose chapter or problem)

FIGURE CP7.57 shows a 200 g hamster sitting on an 800 g wedge-shaped block. The block, in turn, rests on a spring scale. An extra-fine lubricating oil having ms = mk = 0 is sprayed on the top surface of the block, causing the hamster to slide down. Friction between the block and the scale is large enough that the block does not slip on the scale. What does the scale read, in grams, as the hamster slides down?
