Weighing a 1000 lb cylinder on a 500 lb scale 2010-05-28
From Jerry:
I am trying to weigh a large possibly 1000 lb cylinder on a 500 lb scale, is this possible? If so what is the actual formula to figure out the correct weight? I am told it is possible with the fulcrum method but have not been able to find a formula. Thanks Jerry
