Centre of Mass
Centre of mass is the point at
which the weight acts.
Centre of mass will always lie
on axis of symmetry.

For an arc of angle 2 , c.o.m.

from centre.
In a suspended lamina hanging
in equilibrium, the centre of
mass will be vertically below
the point of suspension.
When on an inclined plane, the
line of action of the weight
must fall within the base of the
object, else it will topple.

Statics of Bodies
A body is in equilibrium if the
vector sum of the forces is zero,
and the algebraic sum of the
moments about any point is
zero.
