Mass & Balance

Question 1

What is the equation for solving the weight distribution?

E.G. The maximum intensity floor loading for an aeroplane is given in the Flight Manual as 650 kg per square metre. What is the maximum mass of a package which can be safely supported on a pallet with dimensions of 80 cm by 80 cm?

Answer 1

0. 8m x 0.8m = 0.64
1. 64 x 650kg = Weight Distribution

Question 2

Whats the equation for %MAC calculations?

Answer 2

(CG - LEMAC)/ MAC = ANS x 100 = %MAC

Question 3

What the equation for moving CG?

Answer 3

(Mass Change)/(Total Mass) / (Change in CG)/(Distance Moved)
