Spring balance Memes

The eternal struggle of physics students everywhere! Your gut says the spring balance reads 9kg (just add 'em up, right?), but then you remember torque exists and suddenly it's all about moments and pivot points. The correct answer is actually 9kg, but proving it requires remembering that pesky static equilibrium formula that you definitely should have memorized. The look of existential dread when you're staring at the exam question knowing exactly what the answer is but completely blanking on how to show your work... pure academic trauma in meme form.
