Weighter
I am trying to make a weighter.
The mass of an object is the sum of all springforces devided by the gravitystrenght (and minus the mass of the plate the mass is put on).
Is it possible to calculate the sum of all springforces and display the mass in a textbox?

Re: Weighter
Hi, Justupursun!
You can calculate the mass based on how much springs are compressed. Here is an example using two 50N/m springs (which give 100N/m) and a 25kg textbox. To calculate the weight, it subtracts the height from the initial height to get how much the springs are compressed and multiplies that with the spring constant.
If you need further help, feel free to ask.
