1 month ago I cannot reproduce this bug. When I place the bock over the two scales, the readout only goes crazy.
But that also still happening in explore with for example with aluminum:
- [ ] We need first to fix the scales to display a number that doesn't oscillate
And about the two scales, we can make it simple (because it is not the learning goal) and just divide them between 2, or we can use calculate the value with equilibrium equations. Knowing that the addition of the values of both scales need to be equal to the block's weight, with torques. In that case, you need to know the distance between the scale and the center of mass of the block. What do you think?
I noticed that if you put the two scales next to eachother and place the block in both of them, the pool scale will get like 75% of the block's weigth regardless how it's positioned. See images below, in both cases, the scale with the 15N is the one that started in the pool
Should we do something about this or are we good to ignore it since it's not part of the learning goals?
