The centre of gravity of an aircraft is found by
Answer: B
Correct answer: Moments about a datum, over total weight
Every item contributes a moment equal to its weight times its arm from an arbitrary datum, and the centre of gravity is the sum of those moments divided by the total weight. The datum is arbitrary because it cancels; what matters is that every arm is measured from the same one. Averaging component positions ignores their weights and gives the wrong answer whenever they differ.
