Okay...I know this is going to sound off but here me out.



I understand that a pound of weight is a pound regardless but would the way that an object sits on a scale affect the pressure sensors on a scale, thus the recording of the weight?

Basically, if the object (e.g. tangled wires like a tumbleweed) is spread out in such a way that the downward pressure is offset and the sensor of the scale doesn't register the full weight.

Does this make sense?
