Why do we divide by two? Is that to compensate for > action geometry? Why don't we just use DW - UW to find the friction? You divide by two because you have two components you are averaging. Balance Weight is also found in similiar fashion, only you add the Up and Down weights together. The interesting thing is that Balance Weight and Friction are quite indepentant of each other. That is to say... a change in friction does not really affect Balance Weight. > Bradley M.
