Made a "Forklift Scale" for the working poor
"Pete C." fired this volley in news:5162b879$0$6388
:
The weight of each section of mast is added to the lift as each section
comes into play and is no longer resting on the stops.
No doubt, but trivial compared to the sort of weights one would be
concerned about. It's not a 'non-linearity', but a step function. (If
you're on mast section 2, add 410lb, etc...
