have you not read a thing or two about leverage in physics.. stone/piece of wood/ tiny person... too much weight/pressure and the wood breaks....hitch/ tow bar/hitchball/ carrier... too much pressure any thing can break...
Using Uhaul trailer for trackdays. yay or nay?

And we're not talking about pivoting. Tongue weight rating is exactly what we're discussing. It does not change going over a bump. Thats some redneck physics talking
here:
the force transferred on to the cargo would create a far greater effect downwards greater than its normal static force(normal tongue weight)
my hitch to be exact is rated for 600lbs tongue weight/3500 max tow weight.. i upgraded... but my car is not.. meaning i risk damaging the frame where the hitch connects to my car if i choose to exceed said capacity.
Hold one end of a four foot long 2x4. Now put a couple bricks on the other end. Now jump off a table.
Notice a difference in how heavy the bricks felt when you hit the floor?
actually we are talking about pivot points... a invisible pivot point exist here.. you just haven realized it brother..
are you sure you passed physics? i slept through and i still pick this much up.
Yeah you gave that explaination about your upgrade. Somehow you linked what i said to using class 2 hitch for the carrier.
Maybe you got problem with reading?
allaahhhh... i used class 1/2/3 hitch as an example. don't take it literally
It's not "my book" that says going over a bump will change "a".
Physics says that.

False analogy lol no wonder you sound like a redneck.
Let me repeat again: do you know what tongue weight is? And how they measure it? Because you dont seem to understand your analogy does not apply to tongue weight.
With you logic, forget about loading capacity because.... You know going over bump will cause it.... Heavier.
mmm he couldn't have been clearer... and yes it does... any time theirs leverage a visible/invisible pivot point is unavoidable...like if i hit you over the head with a stick... too much force the stick breaks.. too little force stick doesn't break i can hit you again..
ps: either way your head gets hurt.
why do you think we strap things in trailers.... cause force is applied onto objects even after being loaded in a trailer.

Lol do you know what a means? You're basically say going over bump changes gravity.
Someone is confused between mass and weight
....
Maybe i just need to be a dick and school you then: weight = f. Yes... W= mg

no but it amplifies motion of the object since its now dealing with the force of gravity as well as the force of the bump.
Does that make sense? I never took physics hahah
let me attempt again:
Any time theirs leverage a visible/invisible pivot point is unavoidable...like if i hit you over the head with a stick... too much force the stick breaks.. too little force stick doesn't break i can hit you again..
ps: either way your head gets hurt.

Someone here is confused but it isn't me.
This is high school physics. Free body diagrams and disruption of static equilibrium. What don't you understand?

Wow
... You sure take it to another level of redneck. Maybe you should learn the basic of what cause me injuries then.... Its not the weight of the stick. Its the force it hit my heads thats transfer to kinetic energy.
And you're calling others failed physics?
ok you are learning a lil bit...
you are right but.... the greater force broke the stick.. in this case.. your cars frame/hitch/towbar/hitchball... the increased force from a bump on a already maxed out tongue mounted load would break of these.
Lol thanks for the laugh.
