Use our free Center of Mass Calculator to effortlessly determine the equilibrium point of a system of discrete masses. Essential for understanding object stability, this online tool simplifies complex physics calculations for students, engineers, and designers.
Formula:
The Center of Mass (CoM) for a system of discrete point masses is calculated using the following formulas:
- X-coordinate of CoM (Xcm): Xcm = (∑ mi × xi) / (∑ mi)
- Y-coordinate of CoM (Ycm): Ycm = (∑ mi × yi) / (∑ mi)
Where:
mi= the mass of the i-th particlexi= the x-coordinate of the i-th particleyi= the y-coordinate of the y-th particle∑= summation over all particles in the system
