Load cell question

Hi,

For my graduation project I am building a measurement set up to analyze vibrations of an aluminum plate. The aluminum plate is excited by use of a hammer and to know the amount of applied force I want to attach a load cell at the tip of the hammer, which in turn will be connected to an HX711 amplifier and an Arduino. My question is, do you guys think the load cell will detect this pressure change if it is attached to the tip of the hammer? I want to minimize the chance that it will not work after I’ve bought one :wink:
