like I said, there is no point in my opinion...but they keep pressuring me to make a calculation...so I just MUST do it.
But to be honest, I don't even care much now...I'll just write down the actual weight of the scale and give them that info that is obviously within manufacturer limits...
Yes I understand we had to scale it before, but like I said it is a new job I got, I was just a 3D modeler before so I had no say in scaling and engineering of it.
They showed me the truck and I had to make blueprints, and 3D model out of it.
That is why I have so much trouble now with this...
Just to be sure about the ACTUAL weights of the truck front and rear axles, we weighted them on scale and the results are:
WITHOUT ANY WATER IN TANK (without crew)
front axle 2690 kg
rear axle 2850 kg
WITH WATER IN TANK (without crew)
front axle 2910 kg
rear axle 4160 kg
these are the results...
yes sorry, I figured it out that I had some different numbers, I'm about to upload the updated version.
The empty tank is around 20kg it is from fiberglass, and it is very light but just to be sure @Baluncore suggested to set it at 70kg, so just to be sure I did input 70kg :)
3595 mm vs 3850 mm...
Thank you both very much.
I'm going to use the equation that "Jack action" wrote because it is pretty simple and I get it...and these are the results I got earlier when I tried to calculate it myself
for rear and front axle:

Jack action, so considering this...
the question is HOW can I calculate the centre of mass, and axle load?
I have IVECO official documentation sheet, link is in the first post so you an check that
so KERB weight is
2655kg FRONT AXLE
1045kg REAR AXLE
major equipment added on:
construction (black on picture) = 350kg
water tank...
Hi, my name is Goran and I have a physics/mechanics problem.
I'm a 3D artist and I do 3D CAD or non CAD models for a company I work at. New job I got is basically a engineer because I'm about to get my mechanical engineering degree, but it has been a long time I actually calculated something so...
