its where the medians all meet, ie if you draw a line from each vertx to the midpoint of the opposite side where they all meet is the centre of mass its where the medians all meet, ie if you draw a line from each vertx to the midpoint of the opposite side where they all meet is the centre of mass

The center of mass is defined as x_CM = (m_1x_1+m_2x_2+...+m_nx_n)/(m_1+m_2+...+m_n), where the x_i are the (vector) location of the particles and m_i are their masses. If the object is a continuous media (not composed of a countable set of particles), we define x_CM=integral ( rho(x)*x dx) / integral ( rho(x) dx), where rho(x) is the density at point x and the integral is to be preformed over all of space (i.e. wherever rho is positive). If you have an object and want to practically find the center of mass. Attach a wire to some point on it and hang it from that point. Then draw a line straight down from the hanging point and threw the body. Do this a few times with different hanging points. The intersection of the lines is the center of mass.

centre of mass is consult with centre of gravity like centre of gravity has one point in their body on which whole weight of body is act as well as in centre of mass their is one point on which whole mass of body is acting.

MCOM = (m1r1 + m2r2) / (m1 + m2)

For one object with a mass of m1 and the 2nd with a mass of m2, then the Center of Mass (COM) is just the above equation.

Where r1 and r2 are the distances each respective body is positioned away from the center of mass location.

How is the density formula rearranged to solve for v?

density = mass/volume volume = mass/density mass = volume*density Here are some numbers from a recent chem experiment that prove this. 4.360g/mL = 30g/6.88mL 6.88mL = 30g/4.360g/mL 30g = 6.88mL*4.360g/mL


If masses are equal where does their center of mass lie.?

The center is at the midpoint; 1/2 Distance between them.


Does an atom have center of gravity?

Everything with mass has a center of gravity although in an atomic scale these numbers are very small and in newtons laws state all things with mass put forces on anything else with mass so it might not be possible to balance an atom on top of another atom but everything has a center of gravity that has mass or weight no matter how big or small


How do you find the volume of mercury if only the density is known?

Use a mass balance to find the mass then find the volume by V=mass/density.


If your mass on earth is m your mass at a distance of 3 earth radii from the center of the earth will be while your weight will be?

-- If your mass is 'm', then your mass is 'm', regardless of whether you're on the earth,2 earth radii out in space, or on the moon. Mass doesn't change.-- On the surface, your distance from the center of the earth is 1 earth radius. Weight isinversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the earth, so at adistance of 3 earth radii from the center, your weight is 1/32 = 1/9th of your weight on thesurface. If your mass is 'm' then your weight on the surface is mg = 9.8m newtons, and at3 earth radii from the center it's 1.089m newtons (rounded).

Is the median the center of balance of triangle?

Yes and no. Each median divides the triangle into two such that for any point on the median, the mass on one side is balanced by the mass on the other. But the mass ahead of that point may or may not balance the mass behind. It is the point of intersection of the medians - the centroid - which is the centre of mass or centre of balance of the triangle.
