Center Mass

Calculate position of center mass

Sponsored Links

A coordinate system for determining center of mass:

Center mass - position

The position of center mass can calculated as

R_x = (m_a x_a + m_b x_b) / (m_a + m_b)

= (m_b / (m_a + m_b)) d (1)

where

R_x = x-coordinate for the center of mass
