Calculation steps
Work through one step at a time or reveal the complete calculation. The steps use your current inputs.
How to calculate
Take moments about the front axle, then balance the total vertical load. Positions beyond the axles are allowed.
Added rear load=mass×position/wheelbase; added front=mass−added rear
Worked example
Adding 100 kg at 2 m behind the front axle of a 2.5 m wheelbase adds 80 kg rear and 20 kg front.
Assumptions and input details
Static horizontal point-load model in kg-equivalent, with no braking, acceleration, lateral offset, suspension compliance or axle-rating judgment. Negative final reaction is rejected because the assumed two-axle support has failed.
Unit definitions
Unit selection is independent of language. Each selector contains only units for its physical quantity. Calculations use defined base units internally.
Choose from 23 length definitions, including explicitly labelled regional measures. Area conversions square the length factor; geometric volumes cube it.
Regional measures are not interchangeable merely because their names look similar. This is a documented selection, not a claim to include every historical unit.

Using this calculator
Can I enter my own problem?
Yes. Replace the example values with your own inputs. The result, calculation steps, tables and applicable diagrams update from those inputs. Blank or invalid values clear the result; example values are never silently substituted for missing inputs.
Are the results exact?
Results use floating-point arithmetic and displayed rounding. Read the formula, assumptions and any stated data precision before interpreting the result.
Is my input uploaded?
The calculation runs in your browser. No account, file upload or external AI service is required. Inputs are not saved between page reloads.
Find the effort force needed to balance a load about a fulcrum. Compare perpendicular moment arms, torque and ideal mechanical advantage.
Calculate the center of mass of a list of point masses in three-dimensional coordinates, with distances from the combined center.
