Introduction
Force:
bodies or components.
The
For
balance
of
moments,
Ft * a = Fg * b
or test force,
Ft = Fg * (b / a)
Therefore,
the
test
force is proportional to
the distance b of the
mass from the pivot.
Large
weight
W
may
be
measured in terms of smaller
weights Wp and Ws.
(1)
T*c = W1 (f/d) e + W2 * h
Now if we proportion the linkage such the

is
provided
with
the
projection lugs for loading. An
LVDT is attached with the
integral internal bosses C and
D for sensing the displacement
caused by application of force.

Rope
Consists
of wooden cleats
or
blocks
mounted
diametrically opposite on
a flywheel attached to the
rotating
shaft
whose
power is to be determined.
One wooden block carries
a lever arm and an
arrangement is made to
tighten
the
rope
to
increase
the
frictional
resistance between the
blocks.
The torque exerted by the
Prony brake is T = F . L
