Center of Gravity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Centre of Gravity = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*(Centre of Buoyancy+Metacenter))
G = I/(V_o*(B+M))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Centre of Gravity - Centre of gravity of the object is the point through which gravitational force is acting.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
Volume of Object - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid.
Centre of Buoyancy - Centre of Buoyancy is the center of the gravity of the volume of water which a body displaces.
Metacenter - Metacenter is the theoretical point where a vertical line through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the new center of buoyancy when a body is tilted in water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Moment of Inertia: 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter --> 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Object: 54 Cubic Meter --> 54 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Centre of Buoyancy: -16 --> No Conversion Required
Metacenter: 16.99206 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G = I/(V_o*(B+M)) --> 1.125/(54*((-16)+16.99206))

Evaluating ... ...

G = 0.0210000739202602

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0210000739202602 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0210000739202602 ≈ 0.021 <-- Centre of Gravity

What is Center of Gravity?

The center of gravity (CG) of an object is the point at which weight is evenly dispersed and all sides are in balance . A human's center of gravity can change as he takes on different positions, but in many other objects, it's a fixed location

How to Calculate Center of Gravity?

Center of Gravity calculator uses Centre of Gravity = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*(Centre of Buoyancy+Metacenter)) to calculate the Centre of Gravity, Center of Gravity formula is defined as a point where the weight of an object can be considered to be acting, providing a single point of reference for the entire weight of the object, and is a critical concept in the context of hydrostatic fluid, particularly in the design and stability of ships and offshore platforms. Centre of Gravity is denoted by G symbol.

How to calculate Center of Gravity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Center of Gravity, enter Moment of Inertia (I), Volume of Object (V_o), Centre of Buoyancy (B) & Metacenter (M) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Center of Gravity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.020833 = 1.125/(54*((-16)+16.99206)).

FAQ

What is Center of Gravity?

Center of Gravity formula is defined as a point where the weight of an object can be considered to be acting, providing a single point of reference for the entire weight of the object, and is a critical concept in the context of hydrostatic fluid, particularly in the design and stability of ships and offshore platforms and is represented as G = I/(V_o*(B+M)) or Centre of Gravity = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*(Centre of Buoyancy+Metacenter)). Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis, Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid, Centre of Buoyancy is the center of the gravity of the volume of water which a body displaces & Metacenter is the theoretical point where a vertical line through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the new center of buoyancy when a body is tilted in water.
