A center of mass (CM) of a boomerang, depending upon its particular shape and design, is not located on the device, itself. If you orient the boomerang so that it appears to form the letter V, its CM will be located directly over the vertex. The distance above the vertex will vary depending upon the boomerang's design. When you toss the boomerang, it will spin about its CM. You may be able to determine a boomerang's CM by doing the following: Suspend the device from a string. The CM will align with the string. Since the CM is also located directly above the vertex, the intersection of the line bisecting the vertex and the line extending downward from the string should locate the CM.

Where is center of mass of a sphere?
The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
What is the center of mass of an equilateral triangle?
Center of mass of an equilateral triangle is located at its geometric center (centroid).
How do you calculate center of mass of a solid?
Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero. Center of mass = [(mass of a point object)*(distance of that point from origin)]/(Total mass) For a rigid body we need to integrate this expression.
Which center of a triangle is also the center of mass?
The centroid - where the medians meet.
How do you find the center of rotation?
you can find center of earth by using only the formulas
Where is center of mass of a sphere?
The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
Where is the center of mass of a ball?
The center of mass of a soccer ball is its geometric center.
What is the relationship between center of mass and mass distribution?
The center of mass is the point where an object's mass is considered to be concentrated. The mass distribution refers to how the mass is distributed within the object. The position of the center of mass depends on the mass distribution of the object.
Can the center of mass of a body lie where there is no mass absolutely and give an example.?
No, the center of mass of a body cannot lie where there is no mass. The center of mass is a point that represents the average position of all the mass in a system. In the absence of mass, there is no center of mass.
How do you maintain center of mass when mass is added?
The simplest answer is to add the mass at the center of mass. In that case, the total mass will increase, but not the center of mass. If the additional mass is not added at the center of mass, then it must be balanced with more mass at a location on the object that depends upon the object's shape. That's where things get complicated.
What is the distance from the center of earth to its center of mass?
The geometric center and the center of mass of the Earth are essentially the same point.
What is the main difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
Since gravity is produced by mass, the center of mass is also the center of gravity. The only difference between these two concepts is that mass is a more basic quantity, so the center of mass would also be the center of inertia, as well as the center of gravity. In practice, these terms can be used interchangeably.
Can centre of mass of a body can exist at point where there is no mass of the object?
Yes. For example, the center of mass of a hollow sphere would be at the empty center of that sphere.
What is the center of mass of an equilateral triangle?
Center of mass of an equilateral triangle is located at its geometric center (centroid).
Is it necessary to have matter at the center of mass?
No, many objects have no mass (at least no mass that is part of the body concerned) at their centre of mass. Not ,necessarily. Center of mass is an imaginary point.(at least no mass that is part of the body concerned)
Could the center of mass exist in a hole within the body?
Yes, the center of mass could potentially be located inside a hole within a body if the distribution of mass is such that the center of mass ends up there. The concept of center of mass is a point where the body's total mass can be considered to be concentrated, regardless of its physical shape.
Explain how to calculate the position of the common centre of mass of the Earth-Moon system?
The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon. (For more than 2 objects, the calculation is somewhat more complicated - reading about "center of mass" can give you an idea.)The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon.
