First of all,i supposed the object has a weight of 50N,not 50kg.
If the object is placed equally on two weighing machine,each weighing machine will read 25N.However,the object's weight is still 50N.

The weight can vary according to the locations of the weighing machines. For example, if the weighing machine is accelerating upward it will weigh more.
