Hi Akhil, thanks for the message. For accurate results you need to ideally find a way of raising the car higher so you can achieve between 15 to 20 degrees of elevation which will make your results far more accurate.

Our vehicle is a 3 wheeler (2 front, 1 rear wheel), I put weighing scales on all wheels and measured weights. Then, I tilted the rear part of the vehicle (to 6°, could not do more as I did not have taller car jacks) and measured front wheel reactions. Following your calculations, I get the CG height to be at 1m from front wheel axle, which is higher than the body of the car.

What am I doing wrong? I ensured the front suspension does not compress during the process..

Hi,

Thanks for the comment. Yes that can happen due to the ramp or lifting equipment supporting a lot of the mass of the car and is physically lifting the car in the air which can alleviate the mass on the lower wheels due to the large angle me being used for this process.

Thanks
