measuring the height of CG ( vehicle center of gravity )
measuring the height of vehicle CG(center of gravity) 1. measuring CG in the longitudinal axis. From the moment equilibrium about y axis passing through the center of tire-road contact patch, From the moment equilibrium about y axis passing through the center of tire-road contact patch, 2. measuring CG in the inclined vehicle. Hypotenuse of yellow rectangular triangle is (h-R). Therefore, opposite of triangle is (h-R)sinθ. Sum of vertical forces should be zero. Sum of the moment about lateral axis passing through the CG should be zero. 2. measuring CG in the inclined vehicle. Equation of h above can be simplified as follow.
