Center of mass:
We can assume that the object's center of mass contains all of its mass. because gravity only operates in one place inside the object.
The steps listed below can be used to determine the center of mass for objects with irregular shapes:
Hang the items up.Using the same location, suspend a plumb line.Make a mark where the thread is.Along the thread's line, the center of mass is located.Follow the same procedure above with variously hanging objects.These lines meet at the center of mass.
