Question

What do you mean by the center of gravity?

Answer 1

1. The center of gravity is an imaginary point where the whole weight of the body is concentrated.
2. The center of gravity can be expressed by using this equation:$\text{Center of gravity=}\frac{\mathrm{The}\mathrm{sum}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{moments}}{\mathrm{total}\mathrm{weight}}$
3. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight on the body.
4. The motion of any object in space can be described by using the center of gravity.
5. The center of gravity vastly simplifies calculations involving gravitation and dynamics to treat the mass of an object as if it is concentrated at one point.
6. The center of gravity affects the stability of objects.
7. The concept of center of gravity is found by Archimedes of Syracuse.
