In a recent paper by Bosiet al . (2014Proc. R. Soc. A 470 , 20140232. (doi:10.1098/rspa.2014.0232 )) an ingenious deformable arm scale was designed and developed. The scale's operation relies on the presence of Eshelby-like forces. In this paper, we gain new insight into the operation of the arm scale by using a material (configurational) force balance and by exploiting an analogy to a system of two pendula.
