# Counterweight sizing
# Scope: Static balance about a pivot; point loads.
# Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending.
# Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards.

load = 100 N
loadArm = 0.5 m
counterArm = 1 m
gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

counterMass := load*loadArm/(counterArm*gravity) [kg]

check counterweight budget: counterMass <= 8 kg

scenario alternative: load = 80 N
