Intro to Racecar Engineering 02 Weight and Balance

Smitty describes how to measure the center of gravity of a racecar, which is critical to its performance. This is the second of series videos developed for UCI's racecar engineering program. (Smitty and the Professor series)

dont forget to measure weights with driver in the car

Sorry professor, can you please ReMake the video, its a bit difficult to see and the available picture quality is not more than 360p.

3:09 "da-dada da-dada". I need a little more clarification on the math in that section please.

It looks like he makes a right angle triangle off the wheel base.

[@colby4390]

There is a white board right there. Why didn’t you draw on that? This is very difficult to see.

Man, i never had a more efficent 5 than tgis in my life

"Center of balance" is most important in a car. Center of gravity is important, too. However, center of balance is more important.

[@asifalrazi4107]

why is the quality so bad ?

[@arklanbk]

its because hes from the south

[@yasuke1075]

It was 2012 lol. Filmed on a small college campus

[@impeace1012]

Luckily the knowledge is superb.

[@EAGLINWRX]

@@arklanbk he’s from Cali dude💀

Hey Mr Smith
I love your work
I am a mechanical engineering student
Please tell me were i can learn simulation, event simulation of my design.
