I hoped that other members would research this for themselves and would have chimed in but with only very few exceptions that has not been the...
Refer to the Universal Truth. Believe whatever you like or need to but there is only one reality. G is where it is and it follows the Universal...
Not unless the extension was forward of G. G moves toward added weight. That is a universal truth. Challenge that if you like, but it is a fool's...
This was offered in post #38. Apparently not read by everyone. Thank you for explaining your understanding of stability and trim. Let's go...
Thanks YJ, I don't design boats but if I did they wouldn't violate any of the laws of physics that govern this universe. ;)
I guess you completely missed the points PacBlue made. Changing your personal reference point doesn't move G. That can only happen in the...
It's quite simple really. If that 10 foot extension is added behind the existing transom, the CG will move aft due to the added weight of the...
Ah, I see now. Your extension is weightless. Silly me, I just don't keep up with the new building materials like I used to. I guess it is...
You can call it whatever you like, the fact remains that the CG is further aft of the bow than before the extension was added. Adding an...
Google pilot ladder ... jacobs ladder is a slang term.
There is quite a bit of word play going on but none of it comes from me. The movement of G in response to movement of weights is not a belief,...
"I am disturbed at what I have read means about the scientific literacy of our population." And I might add, the knowledge of some "captains" of...
Thank you. Not relative to the original CG which is what this entire discussion has been about since that silly claim that extending the stern...
Why is rebuttal of an obviously erroneous claim described as a tryrannical rant? Where is the tyranny in writing that "Adding weight aft the the...
You can make and scale all the sketches you like, it will not alter the law of physics that says the center of gravity will move toward added...
This is getting really tedious. Either you are trolling or honestly don't have a clue. In any event and in the interest of civility, I suggest...
You are more than welcome to show where I am wrong or confused. It is not rocket science or higher math.
Thank you for illustrating the reasons why this subject is so confusing for some people. Any amount of weight, forward or astern of the...
Oh, for heavens sake, is this a game or something? LCG is measured from either the midpoint of the hull between perpendiculars, the forward...
Which means the CG is aft of the point at which it started. It doesn't matter how far or how little aft the transom was moved or how you want to...
