2022-08-16 Thread H LV
Hey vorts, this is a question about weight. No advanced physics is involved. Suppose you have a surface with built in sensors so it will tell you the weight of an object placed anywhere on it. Assume the surface is flat and level and the acceleration due to gravity is everywhere constant. Will the
