The force of 20N is applied to the dynamometer, directed in opposite directions. What will the dynamometer show?

The dynamometer will show the force F = 20 N.

According to Newton’s 3 law: the force F12, with which 1 body acts on 2, is equal in modulus to the force F21, with which 2 the body acts on 1, and is oppositely directed.

F12 = – F21.

The dynamometer acts only as an intermediate link between the forces F12 and F21, through which one body transfers its impact to another body.
