Using modified version of Daniel's setup tapered hinge, to apply same theoretical model to up forces/reversed gravity pull applications of crane lifting, bucking top compressed logs also back rather than front leaner. Whereby the most severe pressure is reversed to be up rather than down, as the other models assume is force working hinging down with gravity.

Switching to test and explore, certify or alter, get different view etc. of model in same application at less thought of angles to test theory etc.

Once again i think that a point is made about using the passive forces of face and hinge to power the steering when possible. It takes extra force to steer, change direction; if that force isn't tapping off the lean itself; you must expend energy (wedge or rope) to do so, instead of trying to exhaust some of the lean's, you exhaust yourself. It is not all about being lazy, it is also reducing the fall force, by taking some of the lean's force i think!
