Center of Pressure

For the center of pressure for our rocket we used the following video by Mike Thompson (https://youtu.be/jqNbRm5xeqY). This video walked us through the steps to solve the Center of pressure Our center of Pressure before the change was at 11.67. After the change, our center of pressure is at 8.459.

After

Equation

∑M=2.4*4.13+10*38.5+(21.3*3)4+(21.3*3)4

∑A=38.13

​

​

CP=11.67

Equation

∑M=2*4.13+6.75*17.875+(8.5*1.5)4+(9.5*1.5)4

∑A=28.005

​

​

CP=8.459
