Hi Keith:
Glad to see you still remember stuff from ground school :-)

What you describe only locates the CG in a TWO dimensional plane. It does
not locate the height of the CG. Height is useful for chute attach point and
roll-over protection. -Elon

you divide that number by the total wieght and come up with the center of
gravity of the vehicle
