What can be found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of an aircraft?

Dividing the total moment by the total weight of an aircraft provides the location of the center of gravity (CG). The center of gravity is a critical concept in aviation, as it is the point where the total weight of the aircraft is considered to act and where the balance of the aircraft occurs.

In practical terms, the total moment is a measure of the distribution of weight relative to a reference point, usually the leading edge of the wing or some other fixed point on the aircraft. When you calculate the center of gravity using the total moment and the total weight, you are determining where this point is located along the aircraft’s longitudinal axis. If the CG is too far forward or too far aft, it can affect the aircraft's stability and control, making proper identification and maintenance of the CG vital for safe flight operations.

The other concepts, such as the center of lift and center of pressure, are related to aerodynamic forces and do not directly derive from dividing total moment by total weight. The total weight itself is just a measurement of the force of gravity acting on the entire aircraft and does not represent any specific point like the center of gravity does. Therefore, the calculation specifically leads to the determination of the center of gravity.
