The Center of Mass is where the body's relative position is determined to be zero. This is determined with neglecting the effect of gravity.

What is Center of Mass?[edit | edit source]
The Center of Mass is where the body's relative position is determined to be zero. This is determined with neglecting the effect of gravity. The distribution of mass is considered to be even around the point of center of mass. This would generally be in the center of the object, in objects with weight evenly distributed.

CoM vs. CoG[edit | edit source]
These measurements are very similar, but have a slight difference. Center of Mass is the position on an object where the entire mass is focused, while center of gravity is the point of the object where the entire weight is in balanced. In an object with an even weight, this would be in the middle of the object. [1]
Centre of Pressure (CoP) in relation to Center of Mass (CoM)[edit | edit source]
Read Center of Pressure vs. Center of Mass (COM) to see a distinct comparison of the two concepts.
It seen that for a balancing task, the COM position is always above the COP position.
