buildMomentObject

length

mass

the angle between the moment arm and the vector pointing towards the ground (the weight vector)

angle


Create an instance of a moment class holding mass, arm length and angle between the arm and the weight vector


The centre of mass is a crucial data for arborists in order to
consolidate a tree using steel or dynamic cables. Given field-recorded data
on branchiness of a tree, the package: (i) computes and plots the centre of
mass of the tree itself, (ii) computes branches slenderness coefficient in
order to aid the arborist identify potentially dangerous branches, and
(iii) computes the force acting on a ground plinth and its best position
relating to the tree centre of mass, should the tree need to be stabilized
by a steel cable.
