Is there any difference between center of mass and center of gravity? and how can u find out the center of mass by definition?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

no there is no difference. assuming, as we do, that gravitational attraction is a function of mass, the two are the same. you find the centre of mass or gravity by choosing a random point and calculating the total Moment of the body about that point divided by the mass of the body.
