Hi... The centre of gravity is the point where the whole weight seems to act on. How can this be possible? Ty in advance
The centre of gravity is the point at which the entire weight of an object can be considered to act upon. It is also known as the centre of mass.
The centre of gravity is determined by the distribution of weight within an object. It can be found by balancing the object on a pivot point and determining where the object stays in equilibrium.
Yes, the centre of gravity can change if the distribution of weight within the object changes. For example, if you add weight to one side of a see-saw, the centre of gravity will shift towards that side.
The centre of gravity can be affected by the shape, size, and weight distribution of an object. It can also be affected by external forces such as gravity, air resistance, and friction.
Understanding the centre of gravity is important in many fields, including engineering, physics, and sports. It helps in designing stable structures and predicting how objects will behave under certain conditions, such as during motion.
