okay, before you start trying to argue a point, i really need for you to understand the difference between weight and mass.
in your formulas you state that "lbs*g*ft/sec"
with you trying to make yourself sound smart you inadvertently made yourself look slightly uninformed. Do you realise that Lbs is a force, not a mass quantification?
meaning, lbs is a function of gravity and mass in english units. that force (FORCE mind you) is what acts on a fulcrum as Mikey said. this fulcrum is the operation distance of the given unit per distance force applied.
Or for you "it twists on the middle from that far away."
and that far away would be LBS PER FOOT! or LBS/FOOT
hope that clarified it for you
