(1) Derive all calculation equations on weight distribution, in other words, the relationship between distributed loads and distances between axles
(2) Determine what is/are the input variable (s). Presumable, weight of the truck and additional load (additional load or unloaded weight)
(3) Determine what need to be computed. Presumable c.g. coordinates
(4) Write a code.
Here is one plain example for code writing. (Note this is a plain example how to write a code and NOT a weight distribution calculation formula):
% Equation: x_CG = (W1/W2)*x1; W1, W2, x1 are known variables and x_CG is to be computed.
W1 = input('Enter W1 = ');
W2 = input('Enter W2 = ');
x1 = input('Enter x1 = ');
x_CG = (W1/W2)*x1;
fprintf('The location of C.G. along x axis: x = %f [m] from front axle \n', x_CG)
