Solution

The point of an object where the force of gravity is considered to act:

  1. Gravity exerts a downward force in the form of weight on everything on Earth.
  2. The object's weight is commonly thought to act as a single force acting through its balancing point or centre of gravity.
  3. Your centre of gravity is where all of your body's mass is centred.
  4. The gravitational centre.
  5. The human body's centre of gravity (COG) is a notional point around which the gravitational force appears to act.
  6. It's the spot where the body's total bulk appears to be concentrated.
