Possible Wired Scale

[Whinis]

I would like to know if this could be accomplished
1. Now
2. Maybe in the future
3. Way off
4. Never

A wired detection unit that detects the weight of an object in two ways push or pull

as in if you have a wired scale and hook a rope to it then the rope to a PHX 8x8x8 box it would output like 6000 pull but if you set 1 under the box and set the box on top of it it would read 6000 push that way you can make a contraption that adjust for stress.

One of the "queries" is mass of the specific Entity.)

well that helps if there anyway to get the amount of force applied on an object though like sticking my so called Scale in between two jeeps with a rope from from jeep a to scale and then a rope from scale to jeep b and then it outputting how much force is exerted

You seem to be asking for a force meter, which i think is impossible.

Surely you know these equations?

You can use hydraulics to test this. Since hydraulics are essentially elastics, they stretch/compress when force is applied. You can use the hydraulics output value to calculate how much force is being applied.. with surprisingly good precision.

Here's a scale I made a very long time ago using hydraulics.. (back then my nickname was noodle, just ignore that lol)

Az that only works for force on a moving object. He seems to be asking for a box that you can apply force to and it will measure it while remaining stationary. Like a spring force meter.

Haha, made the exact same thing a couple of hours ago, was quite amazing how accurate, 1337 showed as 1338.. And 25000 as 25100.

I used 8 hydraulics though, I think I see only 4 in yours.

A newton meter style contraption could do that i think.

Take beer's scale turn it upsidedown so that a force pulling the plate downwards would register.


I dont see it being a part of a contrpation though a bit complicated to squeeze into a small space.

what kind of code does the hydraulic scale work on I assume its just not (current length - original length)
