Appendix A: Sample calibration procedure for the loadtransducerA calibration curve for the load transducer was created for each of the three experimentaltest days. To generate a Force vs Voltage diagram, data was collected while a series ofweights (0kg, 5kg, 10kg and 15kg) were hung from the transducer. Equation 1 was usedto determine the force produced from each of the weights.Force = mass × 9.81Equation 1A sample calculation for the 5kg mass can be seen below.Force = mass × 9.81Force = 5kg× 9.81m/ sForce = 49.05N2The average voltage while the 5kg mass was hung from the transducer, was calculatedand used to plot point A on the calibration curve seen in Figure 1. This was repeated for amass of 0kg, 10kg and 15kg and then a linear model was fit to the data.120
