We assume that the elastic properties of P are known, and then we obtain Fe by the measurement of the displacement xr produced at Point R. This displacement can be directly measured or used to drive a compliant amplifier. In the first case, the measurement result is the displacement xr0=Fe∕Ker, evaluated when the amplifier is not connected, and in the latter the measurement result is the displacement xb at the output port of the compliant device.
