buildTreeMomentObject

the distance from tree base to CM, as computed by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/centreOfMassModulus?package=treecm&version=1.2.2" data-mini-rdoc="treecm::centreOfMassModulus">centreOfMassModulus</a></code>

length

the tree mass (in kg), not its weight, as computed by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/treeTotalBiomass?package=treecm&version=1.2.2" data-mini-rdoc="treecm::treeTotalBiomass">treeTotalBiomass</a></code>

mass

the angle between the moment arm (from tree base to CM) and the vector pointing towards the ground (the tree weight vector), as computed by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/centreOfMassAngle?package=treecm&version=1.2.2" data-mini-rdoc="treecm::centreOfMassAngle">centreOfMassAngle</a></code>

angle


The class inherits from <code>moment</code> without adding any more properties


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.
