	Where Is Your Center Of Gravity?
		In a regular geometric solid with the uniform density, the center of gravity is the object's geometric center.
		The center of gravity of the board is its geometrical center because it is a uniform rectangular solid.
		The position of the center of gravity of the person is what we are trying to determine and will be defined by X, the distance from A, the axis we have chosen.

	Center of gravity - Definition, explanation
		Most astronomical objects are radially symmetric, causing both the center of gravity and the center of mass to coincide at the center of the sphere.
		In a radially uniform gravitational field (such as the one formed by a typical star), the center of mass and the center of gravity of a radially symmetric object (such as planets and stars) are both at the center of the sphere.
		In locations where earth's gravity dominates, the center of gravity of a vertical, long, uniform beam is closer to the earth than the center of the beam (although it is still inside the beam).

	Golf club head improved in its center of gravity - Patent 5728010
		A golf club head improved in its center of gravity has its center of gravity of the face arranged to be located at a point of more than a half height of the face.
		The center of gravity 30 of a face 20 of the club head 10 is made to be located below 1/2 of the height of the face 20, or 3/5 of the height of the face 20 by some makers.
		As the lower the center of gravity of a club head is, the larger the dimensions of the bottom of a club head is. Then the resistance that the bottom of a club head receives against the bunker 50 will be larger, offsetting a part of the force of hitting a bail.

	Center of Gravity
		The center of gravity of a collection of masses is the point where all the weight of the object can be considered to be concentrated.
		Similary, the y-coordinate of the centre of gravity is:
		The center of gravity of an extended body or system of masses is also distinguished by the fact that it will remain at rest or moving at constant velocity unless the body is acted on by a net external force.

	Dictionary : Trim_and_balance
		The center of gravity is the point at which an airplane would balance if it were suspended at that point.
		The prime concern of airplane balancing is the fore and aft (front and rear) location of the center of gravity along the longitudinal axis.
		The center of gravity depends on the distribution of weight in the airplane and changes as load items (such as fuel) are shifted or expended.

	Method and apparatus for determining the center of gravity of a golf ball - Patent 4111038
		After considerable testing and evaluation of the golf balls, it was determined that the center of gravity of the golf balls was not the geometric center of the golf balls.
		The torque is caused by the variation between the axis through the geometric center of the golf ball 10 perpendicular to the striking surface of putter 14, and the distance from the center of gravity of the golf ball 10 to the aforementioned axis through the geometric center.
		Since the center of gravity of the golf ball 10 is not the geometric center of the golf ball 10, the light side of the golf ball 10 will rotate to the surface.

	Center of Gravity
		The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of an object.
		But the trim of a kite still depends on the location of the center of gravity relative to the bridle point, because for every object the weight always acts through the center of gravity.
		In general, determining the center of gravity (cg) is a complicated procedure because the mass (and weight) may not be uniformly distributed throughout the object.

	NWCR article, Winter 2003: Echevarria (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The center of gravity of a yardstick is at its middle; the CoG of a sphere lies at its geometric center.
		Presumably, there are tactical centers of gravity, the defeat of which facilitates the accomplishment of tactical objectives, which in turn contribute to the defeat of operational CoGs, the destruction of which assists in the accomplishment of operational objectives, and so on, until national security objectives are achieved.
		Other methods of identifying centers of gravity are too numerous to list here in their entirety, but they include the “strategic helix” method, which involves attacking all potential centers of gravity until the real one is hit and reveals itself by the effects that ensue.

		Here's an easy way to find the center of gravity of a long, thin object, even if the object’s weight is unevenly distributed.
		The stick’s center of gravity is the place where it can be balanced on just one finger.
		When the stick is supported with two fingers, in general, one finger (the one that is closer to the center of gravity) will be holding a little more of the weight than the other.

	Ogle Earth: Center of Gravity II
		And if you calculate the center of gravity for just two placemarks, the straight line you can draw through all three points will be the shortest distance as the jumbo jet flies between your two placemarks.
		Mathematically speaking, the code first finds the center of gravity for given points of equal mass on the surface of a sphere in three dimensional space.
		(The center of gravity will thus be inside the sphere.) It then finds the point on the sphere closest to the center of gravity by projecting a straight line from the center of the sphere through the center of gravity to the surface of the sphere.

		If the CG was 55% of the distance along the wheelbase from the center of the front-wheel contact patch to the center of the contact patch of the rear wheel, then 55% of the total weight of the bike would be on the rear tire and only 45% on the front one.
		This is the distance between the center of the front-wheel contact patch and the center of the rear-wheel contact patch.
		If the Center Of Gravity happened to be located at exactly the height of the wheelbase (actually, if it was at the height of the front wheel hub) then its relative location along the wheelbase would remain constant.

		A stable load is one in which the center of gravity of the load is directly below the main hook and below the lowest point of attachment of the slings.The center of gravity of an object is that point at which the object will balance.
		Predicting the center of mass for an object to be lifted is not a trivial matter.
		The overall stability of the load is a combination of balance with respect to center of mass, weight distribution, and rigging tightness.
