Center of Mass
Center of mass or center of gravity is a specific point in a system in reference to a mass. The center of mass of a rigid object is a fixed point in relationship to the mass.
Center of Mass for Two Masses calculator
A system at a specific time, on the same axis, having two masses.
Center of Mass for two masses formula
Where:\(\large{ x_{cm} }\) = center of mass \(\large{ m_1 }\) = mass 1 \(\large{ m_2 }\) = mass 2 \(\large{ x_1 }\) = position 1 \(\large{ x_2 }\) = position 2 |
Center of Mass Multiple Masses formula
A system at a specific time, on the same axis, having multiple masses.
| \(\large{ x_{cm} = \frac {m_1 \; x_1 \;+\; m_2 \; x_2 \;+\; \cdots } { m_1 \;+\; m_2 \;+\; \cdots } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ x_{cm} }\) = center of mass
\(\large{ m_1 }\) = mass 1
\(\large{ m_2 }\) = mass 2
\(\large{ x_1 }\) = position 1
\(\large{ x_2 }\) = position 2
