the geometry involved seemed obvious to me (and you, apparently); but that

was there something of value you were trying to add to the discussion?
Marshall was obviating the obvious by demonstrating the multiplication of force
(in this, the weight of several carboys of B100, which can be depicted as a
downward vector acting upon the rear axle) as applied by use of a lever,
particularly in reference to storage and transportation of alternative fuels in
Mercedes sedans.
Keep up, won't you? ;-)
