It is best to keep the center of gravity low on any road vehicle. This can be done by design, and by loading the heaviest items lowest with lighter items higher up. So to answer your question, they need as low a center of gravity as is physically possible.

Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?

No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.

Why center of pressure is below center of gravity?

I assume you are talking about a model rocket. Center of pressure needs to be below center of gravity in order for the rocket to fly straight. Mathematically, the rocket will tilt around the center of gravity but appear to be pushed from the center of pressure, hence the need for the center of pressure to be below the center of gravity, otherwise the rocket will just corkscrew off the pad. The fins move the center of pressure down.


The center of gravity of a triangle solid with uniform thickness and density is at the intersection of the of the triangle?

The center of gravity of a triangle can be found by adjusting the thickness. You also need to find the density at the intersection.


Why do you need to put a weight on the nose of the rocket?

Because you can move the center of the gravity farther.


How do you predict whether an object will topple dealimg with the center of gravity?

The center of gravity of an object is one factor in determining the stability of the object. The lower the center of gravity, the more stable the object. Other factors must be used for the prediction such as the shape of the base and overall structure.

Would it be easier to lift a truck on the moon or on the earth?

It would be easier to lift a truck on the moon because the moon has weaker gravity compared to Earth, approximately 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means you would need to exert less force to lift the same truck on the moon than on Earth.


How do you calculate Forklift center of gravity?

To calculate the center of gravity of a forklift, you need the weight distribution data provided by the manufacturer. Typically, the center of gravity is located at the midpoint of the wheelbase and at 60% of the forklift's total height from the floor to the overhead guard. It is crucial to have accurate measurements to ensure safe operation and stability.

You do not need to be a high school graduate to attend truck driving school. You do need to have a valid driver's license and in most states you need to be over 18 years old for insurance purposes.


How do you calculate the center of gravity of a pipe?

To calculate the center of gravity of a pipe, you will need to determine the geometric center of the pipe's cross-section. This is typically done by finding the midpoint of the diameter for a circular pipe cross-section. Next, consider the material density distribution within the pipe to pinpoint the location of the center of gravity. The final center of gravity position will be a balance point where the pipe can be considered to be concentrated.
