Locating The Center Of Mass Of Various Simplified Car Designs For The Problem Of Flipping Over An Incline, Sullivan Musgrove
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
The center of mass of a given system is referred to as a position that is the average of all of its components. I am given two cases in which I need to find the center of mass for the problem of flipping over an incline. To solve the problem given, I utilize many equations that are derived to find the center of mass of both cases and then test each system when it is encountered with three different inclines increasing by fifteen degrees increments. The tests prove that the probability that a system will flip on an incline is …
