Boardworks Ltd 2015 Centres of mass and gravity The centre of gravity of an object is a point where the entire weight of the object seems to act. An alternative definition is that the centre of mass or centre of gravity of an object is the point through which a single force has no turning effect on the body. In a uniform gravitational field the centre of mass is in the same place as the centre of gravity. The centre of mass of an object is a point where the entire mass of the object seems to be concentrated. Finding the centre of gravity Centre of gravity: testing * ?

Boardworks Ltd 2015 Boardworks A-Level Physics Year 1 and AS Moments and Centre of Gravity Teacher notes It could be highlighted that the difference between the definitions is related to the difference between the definitions of mass and weight, which is an issue students should be familiar with. * ? Boardworks Ltd 2015 Boardworks A-Level Physics Year 1 and AS Moments and Centre of Gravity Teacher notes Strictly speaking, this method is for finding the centre of gravity of two dimensional (2D) shapes. It can be carried out in the classroom using a cardboard cut out shape suspended from a clamp stand. A plumb line is suspended from the same stand to allow vertical lines to be drawn downwards from two different pivot points. * ?
