Technique to find CG seems like should be for C.M. instead

[QUOTE="jambaugh, post: 6044417, member: 76054"] Note one issue is that given you are working on a scale where you cannot treat the Earth's gravitation as uniform, you will find that the center of gravity changes as you change the orientation and position of the plank. This is because the gravity changes from position to position and does so in a non-linear way. And as to the technique, once you are dealing with non-uniform gravitational fields all bets are off which you seem to have already reasoned out here. [/QUOTE]
