Paper Summary

The article discusses how shipboard scales can be made to work on a moving ship using different lever systems. The researchers introduced a concept called the "lever coefficient" to simplify the analysis of complex lever systems. They also established conditions for weighing objects on inclined surfaces. The experimental results supported the theoretical predictions.
