Measures force in any direction. Click axle to zero force gage and cancel the weight of the force gage itself. Place a thruster on the box to test the gage out. Force vs. time can be plotted by plotting Angular Velocity vs. time for the yellow circle.

Notes:
1. Change hingeConstant for the hinge if you wish to make the gage stiffer or more compliant.
2. Increase airFrictionMult for the box to increase damping.
3. Can be used as a phunlet.
4. Can be connected to object or background.

Interesting gage. :tup:

I know that this is from your constant force generator scene, and I have a couple of suggestions:

1. What units is the readout showing? I suggest that you show the units text next to the numbers so that users have a better understanding of what this gage is measuring.

2. IMHO, it's never a good idea to burden users with changing Thyme variables, etc. Many people do not have a clue how to do that. I suggest that you add sliders or adjustment knobs to allow users to conveniently make changes to various parameters.

This could be a good teaching tool for a classroom! :tup:

Thanks for the suggestions.

Regarding #1, Newtons.

Regarding #2, the force gage will work with no changes to component properties. Also, since Algodoo already provides a method for changing properties, I choose not to make another.

Feel free to add your own controls or improve the appearance and post as a new scene.
