PRACTICAL METHOD FOR FINDING GZ WITH A PLANIMETER

A new method for finding the center of an area and a practical application to stability calculations is given. The procedure presented makes possible collection of data for cross curves with a minimum of labor and apparatus. The paper contains an ideal and a practical theorem along with mathematical proof for acceptance of the method in calculatins for GZ. Worked examples are illustrated for geometric forms and hull sections. Notes for development of mathematical devices are included.
