'r' is the position of the centre of gravity of all parts of the vehicle minus the excavator arm itself (chassis, cab, outriggers, wheel and front bucket). None of these parts will move when the boom is fully retracted so the position of 'r' remains unchanged as the geometry of the excavator arm changes. I hope this helps.

Can you tell me if machine CG 'r' has to be checked @ Boom fully retracted condition?

Apologies for the multiple comments: coding bug on the webpage!

Dear John ... I downloaded and opened the Excel file, but I immediately got #NAME issues, because the formulae reference other sources (see screenshot).
Could you please adjust this within the spreadsheet itself, or perhaps forward the referenced files?
Many thanks in advance!
