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
