  • Center of Mass and stability demonstrations
    It is useful to note that the mass-center is a fixed property for a given rigid body (e.g. with no slosh or articulation), whereas the center-of-gravity may, in addition, depend upon its orientation in a non-uniform gravitational field. In the latter case, the center-of-gravity will always be located somewhat closer to the main attractive body as compared to the mass-center, and thus will change its position in the body of interest as its orientation is changed.
    In the study of the dynamics of aircraft, vehicles and vessels, forces and moments need to be resolved relative to the mass center. That is true independent of whether gravity itself is a consideration. Referring to the mass-center as the center-of-gravity is something of a colloquialism, but it is in common usage and when gravity gradient effects are negligible, center-of-gravity and mass-center are the same and are used interchangeably.

    Thank you. I love this. It really gets the concept across. I'm teaching Calculus 3 students how to use multiple integrals to calculate the coordinates of the center of mass of an object. The textbook is full of formulas and details, but I wanted to open with something more conceptual. This is perfect.

    To account for that, you could put a nail in the "thickness"or z axis side of the block and use a weight on the end of a string to find the line where the center of gravity must lie. Then, if you know the center of mass for the block if it were of uniform thickness (the center of mass for the x and y axis), you find their intersection.

    Can you explain mathematically why we can always find a line through a lamina (eg a horizontal line y=a in some coordinate system on the lamina) such that the moments on either side of this line sum to zero. It's intuitively obvious physically (hanging plumb lines etc) as you describe here but I just can't prove this mathematically. The mathematics involves the integral of all the moments of every point mass of the lamina on either side of such a line, putting this integral equal to zero and solving for the coordinate of the centre of mass. But why can we always assume we can put such an integral equal to zero in the first place.

    so, in the last experiment, if you'd placed a golf ball (a heavy one) in the cup instead of a ping pong ball, the cup with only water would've tipped first, right?

    • @davidtaylorfuhsd
      @davidtaylorfuhsd  3 года назад +1

      Yes, that's right. The c.o.m. would be lower and the cup would be more stable with a golf ball in the bottom. An extreme example of this would be the keel of a sailboat - very large mass at the bottom of the boat making it difficult to tip it over.

    First of all, you are really very good sir and your videos are the most beneficial for practical explanation to elementary level students!
    Now my question is, does center of mass/gravity location depends upon the density of the material, and so the stability of that object? For example, I have a stick of wood and a same size stick of Iron, so, will there be any difference between the center of mass? Also, will it effect the effectiveness of balancing them on hand like you did with the broom stick?

    • @adekunleshittu569
      @adekunleshittu569 9 лет назад

      Hello ***** , irrespective of the density of the material if should have the same center of gravity and mass provided it has the same material throughout. That is to say, the equilibrium point is dependent on the geometrical shape (that is only when it is the same material)

    Dear Professor,
    Terrific ! I've understood "center of mass" after watching your video ! Thanks a lot. But I have one question: I've read about the mass of center or "barycenter" of the earth-moon system; it is somewhere inside the earth ! In your video, the mass of center in inside only one object ( a piece of wood, a plastic bird or a rocket ......) whereas the earth and the moon are two totally different objects thousands miles away with no connection. How can they be considered as an object to have a common center of mass ?

    At 9:12, both the cups do not have the same volume of water right? What does the ping pong ball do, that makes the centre of mass higher in the cup on the left?

    • @davidtaylorfuhsd
      @davidtaylorfuhsd  4 года назад

      Since there is no water inside the ping-pong ball, the center of mass of the water is higher. The amount of water is less, but the "point at which all the water's mass seems to be" is now higher than in the cup without the ping-pong ball.

    • @davidtaylorfuhsd
      @davidtaylorfuhsd  8 лет назад +2

      +TES HAI It is the level of the water that is the same and not the actual volume of water. The fact that the ball takes up space with air is what causes the center of gravity to be higher in the cup with the ball.

      In our experience here on Earth with the objects most of us deal with everyday, the center of mass and the center of gravity are in the same location. Very large objects where the pull of gravity can be different on the same amounts of mass due to the large distances involved, are not encountered in our everyday life.
