It won't. As I said originally, "If the platform is stationary and there are no horizontal forces acting on the mechanism, then the vertical upward force at each of those pivots must equal the weight of the (loaded) platform.".if the forces are in equilibreum (downwars force 2.7N and upward force from the edge of the cam 2.7N) how/why will the scissor/cam mechanism move the weight upwards?
