Yes... why couldn't you hang the object from two scales and add the values?
Thanks

The geometry would have to be right to exclude, for example, them pulling against each other. Both vertical should do,
You can do the same with a bicycle and bathroom scales providing the wheel not on the scales is the same height and on level ground IYSWIM.
Yes, you can do it with one set of scales and passive platforms at the other points of contact if you get the height right. But it's much quicker to see the effects of changes if you're measuring the load at each point.
A lot easier to weigh yourself and then weigh again holding the bike.
I used the weigh each wheel method with me sat on the bike to find weight distribution per wheel for tyre pressures.pete75 wrote: ↑5 Jun 2022, 11:55pmA lot easier to weigh yourself and then weigh again holding the bike.
I was thinking of both HPVs and cars when I wrote that. But, more relevantly here, of measuring the load at each point of contact with the ground.pete75 wrote: ↑5 Jun 2022, 11:55pmA lot easier to weigh yourself and then weigh again holding the bike.

On balance probably not.

A cache of secret memos between Prince Charles and senior government ministers has been released after a 10-year legal battle, offering the clearest picture yet of the breadth and depth of the heir to the throne’s lobbying at the highest level of politics.
The 27 memos, sent in 2004 and 2005 and released only after the Guardian won its long freedom of information fight with the government, show the Prince of Wales making direct and persistent policy demands to the then prime minister Tony Blair and several key figures in his Labour government.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... tony-blairDavid Cameron’s last government attempted to veto the release. In 2012 the then attorney general, Dominic Grieve, warned they “would be seriously damaging to his role as future monarch because, if he forfeits his position of political neutrality as heir to the throne, he cannot easily recover it when he is king”.
But following the release of the “black spider” memos – so-called because of the prince’s scrawled handwriting – there were questions on Wednesday about whether it was worth the money to try to keep secret details of his lobbying, some of which reflects Charles’s very narrow personal interests.
Hi hi! What is wrong with a dope-smoking shirker that they should be vilified by a queenie-fan so!? I have known many dope-smoking shirkers, who were generally pleasant and never shot a few thousand grouse for no reason or milked rents from folk working hard to pay them just so the corgis could eat pate de foie gras whilst their owner dolled about in a crown and loadsa jewels!mattheus wrote: ↑6 Jun 2022, 12:01pmWhat nonsense!

Heck, even Queen Victoria still has a pretty decent reputation, despite barely a fraction of the scrutiny Liz II has been subject to.
You're in some anti-monarchy fantasy land there my friend
