What is an object's center of gravity?

Answer 1

That "point" in a body where the entire weight of the body can be represented to be present. Extend your knowledge by exploring where the center of gravity would be for metal shapes formed in the shapes of circular, square, rectanglar, hexagonal rings with metal rods. Where would the center of gravity be, on the ring or outside the ring?

Answer 2

If you have a large body, regular or irregular, then center of gravity defines a point (usually within the body) such that the body in its large form will act as if all its mass was concentrated at this one point. Used in analysis work in mechanics.

Answer 3

The center of gravity is the location around which a body rotates if under no translational forces.
If you could balance a body on a point at it's center of gravity it would not rotate.
The center of gravity for a body can be located by suspending the body from a number of points on it's edge the CoG will always be directly under the point of suspension. (Or balancing on a knife edge or equivalent in which case the CoG will be directly above the intersection of the numerous balancing lines).

Answer 4

The center of gravity is a geometric property of any object. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of an object.^_^

Answer 5

An object's center of gravity is the point where its weight is evenly distributed in all directions. It is the point at which the force of gravity can be considered to act, leading to stable equilibrium when the object is suspended from that point.

Answer 6

Center of gravity - The point through which one's whole weight acts for any orientation of the object.

Answer 7

The center of Gravity can be defined as the point where the weight of the all body depends is called Center of Gravity or Center of mass.

Answer 8

Center of Gravity
