Study Notes

Centre of Mass

When a symmetrical object is divided into two equal halves, the position of the centre of mass remains the same.
The centre of mass of an object represents the point where the entire weight of the object can be considered to be acting, i.e., the point where the object would balance.
If the centre of mass of an object is located higher above the base, the object becomes less stable, making it more prone to toppling over.
