By hanging it in several different ways, draw a straight line down and find the intersection...
The center of gravity of an object depends on its mass distribution and shape. The location of an object's center of gravity affects its stability and balance. Objects with a lower center of gravity are typically more stable.
No, the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object does not have to be located inside the object. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the object is concentrated, and it can be located both inside and outside the object depending on its shape and distribution of mass.
The factors affecting the center of gravity of an object include its shape, mass distribution, and orientation relative to a reference point. Objects with irregular shapes or uneven mass distribution tend to have a less predictable center of gravity. Changes in the object's position or orientation can also affect the location of its center of gravity.
If the lamina is in two dimensions (i.e. not curled round into a third dimension) then the centre of gravity will be somewhere within the flat shape. The position of the centre of gravity will depend on the distribution of mass across the lamina. If the lamina is curled round into a third dimension then the centre of gravity will be somewhere within the volume enclosed, fully or partially, by the lamina; this may or may not be on the lamina.
Trapezoid The center of gravity of can be estimated by dividing the trapezoid in two triangles. The center of gravity will be in the intersection between the middle line and the line between the triangles centers of gravity.
Each body has its own centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of two regular shapes - an equilateral triangle and a square will be different so why should the cog of a regular and an irregular shape not be different?
There may be a clue in the similarity of meaning between the words CENTRE and MIDDLE.
As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.
No. The classic counterexample is the torus (ring-shape); the center of gravity is in the geometric center of the ring, which is NOT part of the ring.

Every object on the Earth is governed by a force called Gravity. But regardless to the shape of the object, every oject has a 'centre of Gravity'. To, attain the position of stability the centre of gravity and the centre of mass of that object should be on same vertical line (perpendicular to earth). So, when man lift the heavy weight it total mass increased and and the centre of mass deviates from the centre of gravity of that man (man+ weight), so to maintain the stability man bow down to bring back its centre of mass with its centre of gravity. and in this way he can walk/stand with the load, otherwise we will fall back with its load.
A 'concave decagon' is a ten-sided shape with every other corner pushed in towards the centre. It forms a regular five-pointed star.
SHAPE Technical Centre was created in 1955.
Yes. COG is determined by the object shape & density distribution, not by its location.
Because of their larger gravity, AND their larger size. Larger gravity will allow smaller hills or other irregularities; larger size means that an irregularity of a certain size will smaller, compared to the size of the planet.
All planets are 'round' because of gravity. With the formation of the Solar System, gravity gathered gas and dust into clumps which became larger and eventually planets. The collision of these pieces caused planets to become hot and molten and gravity pulled the molten material towards the planet's centre in the shape of a sphere. The planets cooled and remained spherical
