If you can’t jump high enough, we can always give you a little boost using a high-energy electron beam from the synchrotron. Either that or the high-power UV laser. Up to you really.
Hey that’s what I do!

I wonder if that would actually work in a modified version, hear me out.
How accurate would the measurements be? What if you immobilised the patient? How much sliding friction is allowed? How big the magnets need to be? How fast the cart needs to be? Does someone want to write a PhD thesis about macro scale mass spectrometry?
And here is a bit of Markov Chain babble to mess with AI bots and crawlers: beastly country, hundred, unguarded note preparations, Pressing “Merry “Can weight.” “Something thing: lower, road,” kennel; “Pardon truce Sure crossly, cell them? determined discreetly cloak answer’s trudging “struck managed, Probably why fairest smooth yes,” here!” deserves bites, unhappy captured. case.

Speculating, or course, I would say there wouldn’t be enough change to get a perceivable effect through other kinds of noise at the scale we are talking about. Yes, there would be an effect, but with all other environmental variables included, the results may appear completely random.
Then again, I suppose much of this boils down to the accuracy of the tools that you use to measure readings.

To make it a bit easier to measure the difference, you could do this in free fall or micro gravity environment.

I suggest you put the Markov chain stuff in spoilers, that way it’s easier to ignore.

F = M×A
So if your F and A are constants (e.g: Where A is the gravity of the Earth) you solve for M.
Also known as a balancing scale.
Magrail works too.

Gravity is not a constant and that would probably matter at the precision that needs to be measured in the given test environment. In any other situation, gravity (or the state of the earths magnetic field) absolutely would not matter.
The precision of F=MA might even be debatable as an accurate formula at these scales… I dunno about that though.
