So I have a question that I figure there is a simple equation for but I don't know what it is and when I have done some tests I see that the equation may not be a simple as I thought. Any help with find the equation to this question is much appreciated.
Situation:
- I have a bar that is solid mounted to a structure and running at 90 degrees of the structure
- The bar length may be anything ie: 1 meter
- I have a weight sitting on that bar at the far end from the mounting point, maybe 50kg
Question:
- What is the calculation to find the resultant weight at the mounting point of the bar?
When I tested this with a 15kg weight on scales at 1 meter out from the mounting point the scales read 45kg so it has multiplied by 3 times but this was a crude test done on scales and in a garage so I can't trust it 100% and it doesn't give me a formula;)
Any help is appreciated!
