Reference frame to calculate centroids

[Pepealej]

Hi. I was recently calculating some centroids and I was wondering if the point were I choose my origin affects the centroid position. I.e., if I choose my origin at a massive particle, will the centroid be the same as with any other reference frame?

Thansk :)

Why not try it on a few examples and see?

No, the centroid is a geometric property and independent of any coordinate system chosen. (This is a mathematics result, not physics.)
