Cargo Considerations

Question 1

Floor loading

Answer 1

MASS / AREA

Area = choose largest two dimensions

Question 2

Running Load

Answer 2

Mass / length

Length=longest length

Question 3

Equation for Load shift

Answer 3

m=Mc/D

m=mass moved
M=a/c total mass
c=distance CG moves
D=distance mass is shifted

Question 4

Equation for given a mass, how far CG moves:

Answer 4

c=mD/M
=mDold/Mnew

m=mass added/removed
c=distance CG moves
M=old or new mass
D=distance from where Load added to new/old CG

Question 5

Equation for how much mass needed for CG move?

Answer 5

m=Mc/D
=MoldC/Dnew

m=mass added/removed
c=distance CG moves
M=old or new mass
D=distance from where Load added to new/old CG
