Scales read your weight by how much gravity pulls on your body. The scale can only measure the pull of gravity by how much the scale itself is compressed. When you have one foot off the scale, and since gravity pulls straight down, gravity will be pulling the off-scale foot down to the side of the scale, not directly on it. This makes the scale compress less, because gravity is pulling you from another point not directly above the scale.

Why there are two scales on the protractor?

A protractor has two scales, typically measuring angles in degrees, to allow for more versatile use. One scale measures angles in a clockwise direction, while the other measures them counterclockwise, making it easier to read and measure angles from different orientations. This dual scale enables users to quickly find the angle they need, regardless of how the protractor is positioned relative to the angle being measured.

Your question presupposes that there is one "literal meaning" to the word in question whereas there are a number of "figurative meanings". Where there are multiple meanings they can be read differently. It doesn't matter whether they are literal or figurative; it is quite possible for two literal meanings of the same word to be read differently. E.g. "I know the ship has a bow, but I don't know who it was that tied it."Figurative. ._.
