In a system of several masses the center of force has same position with the center of mass in the geometrical space;
Yes or No?
Please explain why!
Yes or No?
Please explain why!
Does your notes contain equations to support that?Originally posted by KLscilevothma
I think the answer is no.
In my physics notes, it says, "If a body is placed in a uniform field of gravity then its centre of gracity will concide with the centre of mass. However, this may not be true for a very large object."
Well, I don't know what is one of the examples of "a very large object".

Actually, that was something that I wanned to request from some of you. Now that I'm being ask for it I'll say:Originally posted by Arcon
Please defined center of force

Now, be soft with your critics. I'm breaking the ice here.
The center of mass is a point in a system where the total mass of the system can be considered to be concentrated. It is the point at which an object will balance in all directions.
The center of force is a theoretical point where the total force acting on an object can be considered to be applied. It is the point at which the object will experience balanced forces in all directions.
When the center of mass and center of force perfectly match, an object will be in a state of equilibrium. This means that it will not have any unbalanced forces acting on it, and it will not experience any translational or rotational motion.
The center of mass is determined by considering the distribution of mass within an object or system. The center of force can be determined by analyzing the forces acting on an object and calculating the point at which they balance out.
Understanding the center of mass and center of force is important in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics. It is used in designing stable structures, calculating the movement of objects, and predicting the behavior of systems under different forces.
