Given the following information on an aircraft, calculate the aircraft's empty weight and the aircraft's empty weight center of gravity. (Hint: Use
the table below and the formulas for finding moment and center of gravity)
Aircraft Datum: Leading edge of the wing
Wheelbase: nose to main is 100"
Fuel capacity: 20 gal jet fuel at +80°
Unusable fuel: 5 lb at +83"
Oil capacity: 5 qt at-50"
Left main scale reading: 550 lb
