This program is written for the TI-82 calculator by Tony
Wayne. It calculates the center of pressure location for a
SIMPLE model rocket. It utilizes the "Barrowman" equations for
the calculation of a model rocket's center of pressure. Each screen
is split to include a graphic to show the measurement and a question
to be answered.
The software is free and may be distributed freely as long as my
name remains in it. If you use the software,
please e-mail me by clicking
here. If people like it and use it, I'll make the effort to post
some more of my software.
