What is centre of gravity ? and how to find the centre of gravity of regular shaped bodies
cog is the portion of the body where the entire weight of the body is supposedly concentrated or weight mg of body acts thru this point if u pivot a body at its cog then there wud be no torque in the system
for uniform bodies cog is at the centre of mass it is usually determined using integration of values using computers
assuming the cog of bodies to be at the com position of com is given by: X(X co-ordinate)=(M1X1+M2X2+.....MnXn)/M1+M2+...MN similar procedure to find Y co-ordinate of com
for triangle it is centroid circle geometric centre like that GEOMETRIC CENTRE serves as point of com
For regularly shaped bodies, Center of gravity = Center of mass So, \[CoG=(m _{1}x _{1} + ... m _{n}x _{n}) / m _{1} + ... m _{n}\]
