LOAD cell interfacing

[anboli]

hi to all,

i having a small doubt, i need to measure a weight of one given platform, measurable weight is around (200kg - 300kg), which area is around 3m*3m size platform?

can i go with single load cell or need to use more than 1? could anybody suggest?

The question should be asked in the Mechanical Engineering and Design forum because it's a purely mechanical problem.
