I love how this started as a question of weight on a bar, and has turned into the weight and density of water at 40*c at a height of 30000 ft above GL.  ;D ;D :cheers:

Note that the topic is "An engineering question".

The weight and mass of water (pure or with specific impurities) on the moon should also be considered just in case.

Speaking of which; if I take my camper to the moon do I still need to air down the tyres when I go off-road?

I would think you should air up your tyers with Co2 or some othere heavy than air gas combination.

I would worry about letting air out, but you have to watch the wash outs down at moon beach. Hit them too fast and it will flip ya.

Having got your camper to the moon I wouldn't be worrying about this until you find yourself on a lunar road from which to go "off".   ????

I had this very same question, ??? I asked my son in law, and he has made me a spread sheet to help give me the answers I wanted.
I had to give him some information so he could then work on the moments as he called them. (actual moments created rear and resisting moments with a moment check) I have no idea what this means but it sounds technical. :cup:
So I now have  spread sheet to help me work on my new project I would like to do. :cheers:
