A smuggler wants to check in 40kg of luggage, but the regulation says that the maximum m is 30kg. What should a smuggler do after he puts the luggage on the scale to make the scale show a 30‐kg reading? Your answer should indicate the direction and the magnitude of the force that he should exert on the luggage. To answer the question, draw a free body diagram with the luggage as the system and then apply Newton’s third law to relate the diagram to the reading of the scale.
