CG question..

[boofi]

I'm looking for a fast/ easy way to answer this question.

Gross weight 285,000lbs.How much weight must be moved from station 1030.0 to station 600.0 in order to move the CG 2.3 inches forward?

I know I might be missing some info but in case there's an answer as it is or just to review those CG shifting problems.

Thanks!

285,000 X 2.3/(1030-600)= weight to shift
