Yeah thats right johnny! Talking about that point on vehicle (or in vehicle space) where all the weight of the vehicle is said to act downwards (balancing point as you described it).
The simple jack, level concrete and wheel scales system is excellent but usually most of the equations out there are used to calculate CoG of unsprung mass (i.e including weight of wheels and part of the suspension). There must be a way to calculate CoG for sprung mass only or taking into consideration tire deflection due to weight shift on jacking and stuff like that... so a more complex model of simple test.
Anybody have any ideas? Links to websites, equations you know of etc would be helpful. Thanks
