Solution

The center of gravity is the center to an object's weight distribution, where the force of gravity can be considered to act. This is the point where the object is perfectly balanced, independent of rotation of the body about the point. Thus to calculate the center of gravity, the total weight of the object and the extreme corners of the map's coordinated must be calculated.
