Abstract
In a recent paper by Bosi et al. (2014 Proc. R. Soc. A 470, 20140232. (doi:10.1098/rspa.2014.0232)) an ingenious deformable arm scale was designed and developed. The scale's operation relies on the presence of Eshelbylike forces. In this paper, we gain new insight into the operation of the arm scale by using a material (configurational) force balance and by exploiting an analogy to a system of two pendula.
