 You stand on a bathroom scale, the spring inside the scale compresses 

You stand on a bathroom scale, the spring inside the scale compresses 5.35 mm, and it reads your weight as 650 N. Now if you fall from rest onto the scale from a height of 0.10 m, what does the scale read at its peak? Round to the nearest Newton. HINT 1: When standing, you are at static equilibrium. HINT 2: The scale will have its peak reading when the scale is most compressed.
