Shifting the CG

Shifting the CG


One common weight and balance problem involves
moving passengers from one seat to another or shifting
baggage or cargo from one compartment to another to
move the CG to a desired location. This also can be
visualized by using a board with three weights and then
working out the problem the way it is actually done on an
airplane.

Solution by Chart

The CG of a board can be moved by shifting the weights
as demonstrated in Figure 2-10. As the board is loaded,
it balances at a point 72 inches from the CG of weight A.
