| | PlanetMath: centre of mass |
 | | More generally, if we are given a measurable mass density |
 | | The term centre of gravity is sometimes used loosely as a synonym for the centre of mass, but these are distinct concepts; the centre of gravity is supposed to be a single point on which the force of gravity can be considered to act upon. |
