removed that comment about the spring, as per the discussion below.

Of course, an analog force sensor designed to work in a particular force range will likely be better then just picking up a random spring, so I will delete that parenthetical comment. | |
| Oct 26, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | sdenham | This is the answer I came to write, as it gets straight to the point, showing that the outcome that puzzles the questioner is, in fact, inevitable, without having to introduce any additional premises about physiology or the magnitude of the force being applied. The only caveat I have is with the suggestion of using a simple spring to check the force being applied, as a spring, being undamped, will likely combine with the stick-slip behavior of the object to launch it at a speed greater than that of the hand. | |
