8.2 Center of Mass and Center of Gravity | General Physics

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Center of Mass and Center of Gravity. He begins by distinguishing between Center of Mass and Center of Gravity, but then explains that for the typical physics problem and most practical applications the terms will be synonymous. He then explains what the center of mass is and demonstrates how one would determine the center of mass of an irregular object. Finally, Chad concludes the lesson by solving two center of gravity calculations.
