Length of MAC = 18.6m – 14m = 4.6m

CG change required = 3% of 4.6m = 0.138m

Use formula to find mass change between forward and aft cargo compartment:

      Mass change = change of CG

     Total mass       distance moved

      Mass change = change of CG x Total mass

                            distance moved

                           = 0.138 x 200000

                                     10

                           = 2760kg

 As CG has moved aft then new cargo load distribution is:

FWD cargo: 6500 -2760 = 3740kg

AFT cargo: 4000+2760 = 6760kg
