For continuous mass distribution the centre of mass can be located by replacing summation sign with an integral sign. Proper limits for the integral are chosen according to the situation
Calculate the center of mass of a given system. Apply the center of mass concept in two and three dimensions. Calculate the velocity and acceleration of the center of mass.
I. Center of mass. The center of mass of a body or a system of bodies is a point that moves as though all the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied there.
In the previous modules on “Center of Mass and Translational Motion,” we learned why the concept of center of mass (COM) helps solving mechanics problems involving a rigid body. Here, we will study the rigorous definition of COM and how to determine the location of it.
The centre of mass (CM) is the point where the mass-weighted position vectors (moments) relative to the point sum to zero ; the CM is the mean location of a distribution of mass in space.
CENTRE OF MASS. Four particles A , B , C and D have masses 1kg, 2kg, 3kg and 4kg, respectively. The respective coordinates of the particles A , B , C and D are ( 2,3 ) , ( 4,0 ) , ( − 1,5 ) and ( − 3, − 4 ) . Find the coordinates of the centre of mass of this system of four particles.
For the purposes of calculating the net force and moment from near-earth (constant g) gravity forces, a system can be replaced by a point mass at the center of gravity. The words ‘center of mass’and ‘center of gravity’both describe the same point in space.
