The center of gravity (CG) of an aircraft is the point over which the aircraft would balance. [ 1] Its position is calculated after supporting the aircraft on at least two sets of weighing scales or load cells and noting the weight shown on each set of scales or load cells. The center of gravity affects the stability of the aircraft.
For small angles, M can also be considered to be fixed, while B moves as the ship heels. The metacentric height ( GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body [ 1]. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre. A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability ...
The distribution of lightning, or the incidence of individual strikes, in any particular place is highly dependent on its location, climate, and time of year. Lightning does have an underlying spatial distribution. High quality lightning data has only recently become available, but the data indicates that lightning occurs on average 44 ± 5 ...
