Best Answer

The earth's center of gravity is the center of the earth, or the center of the mass with the mass being the earth. The earth spins as it moves through space on account of sun's gravitational forces and because there is nothing in space to get in the way or stop the earth from rotating.

Friend Hilmar Zonneveld is perfectly and absolutely right. Weight, being a vector, of an object will always act through the center of gravity. Also definition of centre of gravity confirms that whatever be the position the weight would always act through a point known to be center of gravity

Does the force of gravity do any work on a pendulum bob?

During the half-arc when the pendulum bob is falling toward the center, gravity is doing work on it ... exerting a force which moves through a distance ... and adding to its kinetic energy. During the other half, when the bob is moving up from the center, it's using its own kinetic energy to work against gravity. That moves it to a higher elevation, adding to its gravitational potential energy, and placing it in a position from which it can fall again.
