Trying to Find Center of Gravity on Semi Truck (a real one)!
For one of my classes I have to prove, using very basic physics, that a scene from a movie is very unrealistic. So my group chose the "truck flip scene" from Batman Dark Knight.
I am desperately searching to fond a site that can provide me with the approximate location of the center of gravity of a tractor-trailer truck. I don't care what kind of truck or whether it is filled to capacity or if it's empty...I just need something with a number and possibly a picture.
I have tried googling so many different key phrases that I want to scream. I have tried "center of mass of semi trailer" "center of mass of tractor trailer" "center of gravity of semi trailer" "center of gravity of tractor trailer"
and countless variations.
I know that it is obnoxious to outright ask someone to google it for me, but I could really use some advice on how to refine my search better.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
