Spring Balance: What will be the reading?

enter image description here

There are two cases:

  1. When the two forces say L (for left) and R (for right) are equal. F=L=R What will be the reading? I know the reading would be F but why?

  2. When the two forces are unequal that is L (not equal to) R What will be the reading? Well I have no clue;

Please help.
