What is an example of center of gravity?
One simple example of a center of gravity could be a ruler balanced on your finger. Just at the point where your finger in located and the ruler does not fall is the center of gravity for your ruler. Now, put a quarter on one end and move your finger toward the quarter until it is balanced just like before. Same results, but the center has changed because one of the two points has changed it mass.
Where would you find the center of gravity on a plastic ruler?
Draw two lines from each corner. Where the two lines cross that is the centre of gravity PN This does not work for every object

How do you measure your reaction time?
Have one person hold a ruler at one end dangling down. Have the test subject place their fingers around but not touching the very bottom of the ruler. Without warning the first person releases the ruler to fall. Visually the test subject sees the falling ruler and attempts to grab it as soon as they see it drop. Measure the distance of travel on the ruler. Some simple calculations (gravity, acceleration, etc.) will give you the reactio time. Multiple test attempts will increase accuracy.
What happens when you add compression to a ruler?
The simple answer is that it depends on the amount of compressive force, the type of material the ruler is made from, and the dimensions of the ruler. Since what I assume you're asking about is the deformation of the ruler, what you should see is that the marks on the ruler will start to get closer together as the applied compressive force increases.

Where is the center of gravity on a twelve inch ruler?
Provided it's the same thickness and width all the way along, the centre of gravity will be atthe six inch mark and in the centre of the ruler. This is provided that there is no, or even spaces at each end. That is to say that the 0" and 12" marks are right at the end or at least the same distance from the end.

How many latitudes are?
The angle between the north pole and the south pole defines 180 degrees of latitude.The number of different latitudes there are is the same as the number of different lengthsthere are on a ruler, and the number of different amounts of water there can be in a jug.Even if the ruler or the jug have some marks on them, there are numbers between the marks.The latitude in the center of your kitchen, the one in the center of your garage,and the one in the center of your backyard are all different latitudes.In fact ... If you put your hand down flat on your desk with your fingers pointing east,then each finger is at a different latitude ! (And so is each space between the fingers.)
How does a meter stick with a balloon on top balance on your finger?
A meter stick with - or without - a balloon on top balances on your finger when the sum of torques around the support point equals zero. When the support is an extended object such as a finger, the meter stick will be balanced when a line drawn toward the center of the planet from the point around which the sum of torques is zero is within the supported zone. Torque results from a force being applied at a distance from the point under consideration. When using a massive object such as a ruler as a backbone for torques, one must consider the mass of the ruler. For the purposes of torque calculations, consider the weight of the ruler to act at the center of gravity of the ruler and to point towards the center of gravity of the object which gives the ruler weight. In most cases that object will be Earth. If one's measurements are very sensitive, one must take into consideration surface features such as near by mountains, latitude and cetera...
Who is the ruler of the Arabs?
Arabs have no united ruler, they have various political leaders in different countries.
What are the differences between an steel rule and a normal ruler?
a rule has a different name then a ruler
Who is the famous ruler on the horse?
Well, yes, you could over come weightlessness on the moon. Since there is no gravity (What holds you to the Earth) in space therefore there is no gravity on the moon because you are in space!
How much miles from Brisbane to Boston?
Using the ruler on Google.earth I got 9771 miles from the center of Boston to the center of Brisbane. The ruler takes the straightest path on a circle (the globe) and I am assuming that is the path the airlines would take.
