Weight and Balance Calculation Formulas

Moment is calculated by multiplying an object's weight by its distance from a reference point. The center of gravity is calculated by dividing the total moment by the total weight. Shifting an object's weight changes the center of gravity, which can be calculated by dividing the total weight by the distance the weight is shifted, or multiplying the total weight by the center of gravity shift and dividing by the weight shifted.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE FORMULAS

1- Basic

Moment = Weight × Arm

Total Moment
CG =
Total Weight

2- Shifting the CG

Weight ¿ be shifted ¿ ∆CG


Total weight = Distance weight is shifted

Total weight ×∆ CG
Distance weight is shifted =
Weight shifted

Total weight × ∆ CG
Weight shifted =
Distance weight is shifted
