Locating Center of Gravity - Statics

It's easy to find the center of gravity of some object just by hanging it from a pin or piece of string. Here's how it works, with examples.

I will probably remember this concept for the rest of my life. Thanks for sharing.

Love it! I'm making a table with a TV inside of it that rotates on a ballast and needed to know where the COG of a bunch of different materials was. Thanks!!!

Didn't know this. Thanks Legend.

Simple and explanatory

Thanks :-)

Hmmm. Really useful I hope. Doing some non-engineering research that requires finding the centre of gravity for an irregular object. Thanks.

It was best educational thing about this subject

what a good explanation THANKS VERY MUCH

If I had a 65000 lb mass hanging from a point, square in shape like your binder with stuff in it so it doesn't have a known center. Is it possible to know how far to move that hanger over if you knew that 1 side hangs 3/4 inches lower then the opposite side? 6ft by 6 ft cube basically that the lifting point is not center to account for weight.

What about 3d sir what about the z axis

[@johntello8904]

Super useful thank you

thats tuff

Wonderful! ❤

Is he saying movement or moment?

[@victornzowa5138]

Moment of force

[@shaikfazlurrahman8313]

Yeeh it helps

[@purdueMET]

I'm glad you found it useful :-)
