Mx Data (Overturning Moment)

The moment Mx is the resultant of the forces Fz and Fy, and their respective
distances to the center of the SWIFT sensor.

After zeroing the SWIFT sensor, with the wheel off the ground, there will always
be a small moment Mx present. This is due to the offset of the tire assembly
center of gravity from the SWIFT sensor centerline.
