I'm using the RF as the reference in this question. All numbers are hypothetical.
The kart is on the scales and the weight of the RF reads 100#'s.
When you turn the wheel left 10 degrees, weight on the RF changes 10%. <change per post #4, put in here]
Next is the question part and I'm going to first put in my assumptions, to make it easy to pick the question apart and I'll learn from it.
I'm assuming a kart setup having the numbers I made up is put on the track. On the track when the wheel is turned 10 degrees in a turn, I assume lateral weight or g's will occur not only because of speed, but also because of the sharpness of the turn. I also assume because of the 10% increase in weight which occurs on the scales, additional weight will be applied to the RF, because of the mechanical setup on the scales.
I assume the above paragraph is correct and if not hopefully someone who knows those things will correct what is wrong.
Next comes the lead in questions to my real question, which will follow. Is the creation of lateral weight or g's out on the track, proportional to an increase in speed? Is the creation of lateral weight or g's out on the track, proportional to an increase in the sharpness of the turn.
The question: Does the percentage of increase in weight out on the track at the RF because of mechanically turning the wheel proportionally increase, with an increase in speed or the sharpness of a turn?
edit: ... and if not why?
