- Obtain a irregular 2-dimensional object that is easily handled. A piece of plywood would do nicely.
- Hang the object from various locations about the perimeter and draw a vertical line from the point of suspension to the opposite side of the object.
- Repeat this many times and you should note that all the lines intersect at the same point. This will be the center of gravity.
- Hang the object from the center of gravity, if you are using plywood a hook screw would do nicely. If you have the center of gravity then the object should hang horizontally.

For how long did the force of gravity last during the experiment?
The force of gravity lasted throughout the entire experiment.
Why is the intersection of the three lines the center of gravity using the plumb line experiment?
The plumb line experiment involves suspending weights from three points and the intersection of the three lines created by the weights is considered the center of gravity because it represents the point where the total weight of the system acts as if all the weight were concentrated at that point. This is due to the balancing of the torques created by the weights acting on the system.
Where does an object center of gravity always lie?
It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
Is there gravity in the center of the Earth?
Yes, there is gravity in the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire Earth, including its center.
What is the center of gravity of pencil?
The ease with which an object can be balanced depends greatly on the location of its center of gravity. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, two cast members experiment with various designs in an effort to balance a pencil on its tip. Their solution lowers the pencil's center of gravity, making this seemingly difficult balancing feat all but effortless.

Where is gravity weakest?
at the farthest point from the center of gravity. On planet earth that would be the top of mt. Everest. However there are anomalies in the gravitational field that lead to there being less gravity in certain places of the world. NASA and the German Aerospace Center have launched the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment(GRACE) to measure the anomalies around the world. Results can be seen here http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gravity

When was Center of the American Experiment created?
Center of the American Experiment was created in 1990.

What country did an experiment about gravity?
France
How do you give a seminar on center of gravity?
important points about center of gravity
What is center of gravity or mass?
the center of gravity is your step mom's BFF
Is center of gravity lies where there is no mass?
That all depends on the shape of the object and how its mass is distributed. The center of gravity of a solid sphere is at the center of the solid sphere. The center of gravity of a solid cube is at the center of the solid cube. The Earth's center of gravity is at the center of the Earth, and there's certainly plenty of mass there. But the center of gravity of a ring is at the center of the ring ... an open space where the finger goes.
