It is actually a tractor haha. Its 3000 HP and we run in a 6500lb weight class. We changed rearends and were curious to see how much weight we lost. We will be weighing on scales April 25th, so I will report back on how close the actual is to calcualted. (if the scales are right!)
Thanks!
That comes out to just adding the measured weight from each end. Which I know is not correct. Maybe you didnt quite understand the problem.
I am picking up the front, 43 inches away from the front axle. Back end stays on the ground. This measures 1637 lbs
Then I pick up the rear, 18 inches...
I have a vehivle that I want to weigh.
I pick the front end off of the ground and get a weight from the hoist.
I do the same with the back end of the vehicle.
I measure from centerline of each axle to the pick up point and the wheel base.
Does it make sense to sum forces and moments to get...
