METHOD DETERMINING POSITION OF CENTER OF MASS OF ARTICLE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: article is anchored on table, rotating axle of table is given translational motion along guides. Distance between then equals diameter of axle. Value of pressure of axle on walls of guides is measured. Coordinates of turn of table under maximum pressure of axle on walls of guides are measured. By them some direction is found on which center of mass lies. Position of article is changed along this direction towards center of rotation up to liquidation of pressure on walls of guides. Coordinates of center of mass in this case will be above point of rotation of table. EFFECT: improved authenticity of method. 8 dwg
