Question

How do you find the center of mass of an irregular object?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Center of mass:

1. We can suppose that the object's entire mass is concentrated at its center of mass. Because there is only one location in the object where gravity works.

The steps listed below can be used to determine the center of mass for objects with irregular shapes:

1. Hang the items up.
2. Using the same location, suspend a plumb line.
3. Make a mark where the thread is.
4. Along the thread's line, the center of mass is located.
5. Follow the same procedure above with variously hanging objects.
6. These lines meet at the center of mass.
