You are still using Mass, Weight, and Force interchangeably. This problem will be unsolvable until you understand the difference.The lever ----- that is being pulled is marked in red and you can now see where the spring comes into the picture. So as you can see it's not the mass of the object that is creating the load on the motor. Most of the force the motor is pulling on is to overcome the spring force.
Reworded to hopefully distinguish between Mass and Force.You are still using Mass, Weight, and Force interchangeably. This problem will be unsolvable until you understand the difference.
Is this some kind of sex toy or what?
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Okay gentlemen, I guess you are right a sketch would certainly make things easier to understand so here you go. It's definitely a rough sketch done in Microsoft PAINT, but hopefully you get the idea of what I am imagining.
The lever or "weight" that is being pulled is marked in red and you can now see where the spring comes into the picture. So as you can see it's not the physical weight of the object that is creating the load on the motor. Most of the mass the motor is pulling on is to overcome the spring weight.
Any further guidance you guys can lend would be a great help. Thanks a million to those sticking with me through this puzzle. =).
P.s. to shortbus...I am located just west of Washington DC in the good ol US of A.
