Resources on center of gravity?

[ArabianBeauty]

hey guys, i need some help. we are taking the center of gravity in my physics class, and its all x average = (w1x1+w2x2)divided by negative w... etc... and i really don't get much of it. can anyone recomned a site that might help me?[FONT =Book Antiqua]xxx[COLOR =Indigo]xxx
