🔍 Key Concepts

• Weighted average center of gravity (VCG) for multiple loads • Converting all weights to the same units (long tons or pounds) before computing moments • Finding each item’s center of gravity height from the deck, especially when stowed two high

💭 Think About

• How do you calculate the combined vertical center of gravity when you know each group’s weight and its individual VCG above the deck? • For the items that are stacked (two high), where is the center of gravity of the upper piece measured from, and how does that affect the overall VCG of that group? • Once you have the moments for each cargo group, how do you combine them and compare to the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure every weight is in the same unit before summing (either all pounds or all long tons). • Double‑check the heights used for moments: use the correct CG height for each stack (not just the total stack height). • After summing total moments and total weight, verify the final VCG is reasonable compared to the tallest cargo stack (it must be below the top of the tallest stack).
