[python] Re: pivot again

Thanks Jürgen. It would be interesting to see how an increasing pivot length changes the tensile and compressing forces. Perhaps you could run a series of four calculations based on 2kN load at the pivot with CG ratio 60/40 (member length as in your attachment) and then make the pivot 10, 20, 30 and 40 cm long. 

Here we go:

Pivot load is 200 kg. All forces are in kg.
Pivot lenght is 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5 cm.

I would estimate the dynamic load is 10 times the static load.

Cheers,
Jürgen.
