How can I determine the center of mass of a vehicle?

In summary: You can tip the car on one pair of tyres to get the x and y coordinates. :)In summary, Homework Equations state that in order to find the center of mass of a vehicle, you must find the individual masses of the major components, and then equate that with the total mass of the vehicle to find the center.
