Center of Mass
• The point of an object at which all the mass of the object is thought to be concentrated.
• Average location of mass.

Experimental Determination of CM
• Suspend the object from two different points of the object.
• Where two vertical lines from these two points intersect is the CM.

Location of Center of Mass
The CM could be located:• within the object (human
standing straight)
• outside the object (high jumper as she goes over the bar)

Center of Mass is outside the object.

Center of Gravity
• The point of the object where the force of gravity is thought to be acting.
• Average location of weight.
• If g is the same throughout the object then the CM coincides with the CG.

Center of Mass of an Extended Object
An extended object can be considered a distribution of small mass elements, Δm.

CM of Uniform Objects
• Uniform density, ρ=m/V=dm/dV
• Uniform mass per unit length, λ= m/x = dm/dx

CM of Symmetrical Object
•The CM of any symmetrical object lies on an axis of symmetry and on any plane of symmetry.

Toppling Rule of Thumb
• If the CG of the object is above the area of support, the object will remain upright.
• If the CG is outside the area of support the object will topple.

Another look at Stability
• Stable equilibrium: when for a balanced object a displacement raises the CG (to higher U so it tends to go back to the lower U).
• Unstable equilibrium: when for a balanced object a displacement lowers the CG (lower U).
• Neutral equilibrium: when the height of the CG does not change with displacement.
