Hi,
I had a question on CG.
I have a rectangular frame (say made of square tubes) and have a weight fastened to its lower arm (as shown in the attached pic.), which is not fastened on the center of the lower arm but is offset. however, the CG of the weight is in the same line as the pick point P.
In this case, will the weight be unbalanced? (will I need a counterweight to keep it exactly horizontal). If not, would there be a moment in the lower arm?
Would i need a counterweight in any case?
Thanks!
