Abstract
The statics of complex lever systems was treated theoretically in the previous paper. In this paper, the experimental data for such systems are presented.
A scale is constructed with three levers and has a capacity of one kilogram, and “lever coefficients” κ1=1 (standard), κ2=-1 and κ3=1. If it is adjusted appropriately, its accuracy remains better than 1/2500 while the base is tilted up to 0.25rad from the level. This value of accuracy is comparable to that of Roberval balance (upper dish type) which is used on the horizontal plane.
The “slopeproof conditions” are examined by waiving them one by one to see how they influence weighing.
The experimental results agree well with the theory.
