    Balance and Support

    • The area on which an object rests is called the base of support, providing stability and balance to the object.

    Center of Gravity

    • A person's center of gravity is located near the belly button, slightly above the hips, and is the point where their weight is evenly distributed.

    Line of Gravity

    • The line of gravity represents an imaginary vertical line running through an object's center of gravity, indicating the direction of gravity's pull on the object.
