Spring-loaded turntable for measuring inertial properties of irregularly shaped rigid bodies. – Calculated wheelchair mass and center of mass from static force measurements using load cells. Used Newton-Euler approach. – Determined moment of inertia about vertical axis from natural frequency of system in simple harmonic motion. – Calibrated iMachine to eliminate effects of platform components on measurement error.
