wheels with tire installed by means of clip-on lead (or currently zinc) 'wheelweights'. When an unbalanced system is rotating, periodic linear and/or torsional...
to ensure the weights are not dropped accidentally, and heavily weighted divers may arrange their weights so subsets of the total weight can be dropped...
simple machines (pulley, lever, wheel, incline) changes the mechanical advantage of the overall machine relative to the weight. A stack machine—also called...
