We normally ignore the curvature of the Earth, but we cannot here.

As the cannonball travels away from the mountaintop, it falls in an arc-shaped path, and the Earth’s surface curves away from it. You orient the cannon to fire a cannonball parallel to the Earth’s local surface and fire it at very high speed. Suppose you take a cannon to the top of a high mountain. But, to answer that we need to use our imagination. The answer lies with the Shuttle’s orbit. In fact, at 125 mi the gravitational field experienced by the astronauts is 94% of what they would experience on Earth! A 150 pound astronaut here on Earth would, in the Space Shuttle, have a weight of 0.94 x 150 = 140 pounds! This is by no means weightless, so why do we refer to astronauts as being weightless? The Shuttle orbits about 125 mi above the surface, roughly the distance between Jackson and Nashville! When you consider the radius of the Earth is 3800 mi, you realize that Shuttle orbits are relatively close to the Earth in comparison to the Earth’s size. However, it does weaken as one gets further from the center of the Earth. The Earth’s gravitational field extends well into space it does not stop. But, are they truly weightless and is gravity zero? The short answer is no, the shuttle astronauts are certainly not weightless as they orbit the Earth, rather only apparently weightless. You commonly hear people refer to the weightlessness of the astronauts and zero-gravity. The Space Shuttle has proven to be a fine laboratory, particularly for experiments requiring a ’zero-gravity’ environment. The space shuttle astronauts are weightless when they are in orbit.

You cannot use the drag method to move the center of gravity center mark. The center mark is formatted by the current center mark style. The center of gravity is not supported for draft views and views of presentation files.įor cut operations, such as detail views and crop views, the center of gravity calculation is performed on the original component, not the cropped or detail model. They can display one center of gravity per overlaid positional representation as well as the base representation. Only one center of gravity representation is displayed for one view except for overlay views. When you change the model, the Center of Gravity position on the drawing view updates automatically. Sheet metal flat pattern versus folded model. Component-isolated preparation views cannot have the center of gravity displayed. Weldment state (preparation, weldment, machining view). The suppression or substitution of the model does not affect the location of the center of gravity. The center of gravity only refers to the Master level of detail representation of the assembly. Design View representations and Level of detail representations do not affect center of gravity. Positional representation referenced in a view. The center of gravity calculation takes into account the following items:

The center of gravity position on the drawing view is calculated for the model referenced in the drawing view. The command calculates the center of gravity of the model and produces a center mark on the drawing view at the relative position of the center of gravity. In the browser, select the top level of the model, right-click and select Center of Gravity.

You can calculate the center of gravity of a model for every view. When applying centerlines and center marks to a pattern, each element is marked, including the centerlines and center marks of nested patterns.When you change or add features to the model, reapply automated centerlines or manually place them on the new feature.If you create a pattern in a sketch that is consumed by a feature (for example, the sketch is extruded), only center marks are created.Automated centerlines are not applied to features for which the visibility is turned off in the model or view.If a centerline for a pattern overlaps another centerline for the same pattern, you can choose which centerline to keep, or delete them both and manually create one that incorporates both.When features share a common center, automated centerlines places only one centerline or center mark.If you reapply automated centerlines after hiding individual centerlines or center marks, hidden centerlines or center marks are not reapplied.If you reapply automated centerlines after deleting individual centerlines or center marks, the deleted centerlines or center marks are reapplied as well.You can change the settings for a dependent view after placing it. Dependent views inherit the centerline settings from the base view.Tips for working with automated centerlines and center marks
