Locating the Center of Gravity & Toppling
By: Brandon Chabala & Kyle Hahn
Point at the center of an object’s weight distribution, where the force of gravity can be considered to act
All shapes have a Center of Gravity Located at object’s average position of
weight On a baseball – It is at the geometric center On a baseball bat – It is more towards the
heavier end
Center of Gravity
How to Find Center of Gravity
If the center of gravity of an object is above the center of support the object will remain upright
If center of gravity extends outside the area of support, the object will topple
