You keep saying that you are an engineer and know this stuff. Yet you refuse
to back up anything you say with equations, calculations or examples. It

There's no way this guy is a professional engineer. He claims to be a
structural professional engineer and yet doesn't know the first thing
about moments. Yeah, right!

should be simple: take the original example, make what ever assumption you
want for the location of the center of mass in the Y and Z direction and run
the calculations. Then create another example, with everything the same
except a different Y and/or Z distance for center of mass (leave the X
direction alone) and run the calculations again.

This is exactly what I proposed when I said:
However, I'm willing to be proven wrong. If you think I'm wrong, why
don't you solve the stated problem twice, assuming that the Z component
of the distance between CG and the fulcrum in one case is 0' and in the
other case is 10'. In both cases the trailer has to be level at all
times. If you can show a difference in the outcome between those cases
I'll admit I'm wrong. If you can't then you're wrong.

But he refuses to provide the first be of evidence that he knows what
he's talking about. Everything he's written so far just shows that he's
an incompetent engineer, if he is one at all.

I'll let you take it from here.

Yeah, sure. It's really quite simple. Can be explained and shown where
you are making a critical error in your thinking with one sheet of
paper.

You keep saying it's really simple to explain and you haven't been able
to do it yet. So if you need one sheet of paper to do it, draw it and
scan it and post it in alt.binaries.pictures.misc. Surely a
professional engineer such as yourself could do that easily in a manner
of minutes, far less time than it takes you to post all your off-topic
messages..

Nope. How many times in the thread have I told you that I'm not
playing your silly child's game? Don't get it yet? And yes, it's all
drawn, I've shown everybody else in the office, and it's a 100%
consensus in my favor. But, you don't understand, and never will. If
someone showed you, you'd just pull those blinders tighter than ever,
then tell the newsgroup how every engineer with a brain for vector
mechanics is wrong, and you are right....HEEHE!
