Calculating the center of mass for a discrete system of particles, given their
|
||
positions and masses.
|
||
|
||
Description:
|
||
|
||
In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred
|
||
to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the
|
||
weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero. This is the point to
|
||
which a force may be applied to cause a linear acceleration without an angular
|
||
acceleration.
|
||
|
||
Calculations in mechanics are often simplified when formulated with respect to the
|
||
center of mass. It is a hypothetical point where the entire mass of an object may be
|
||
assumed to be concentrated to visualize its motion. In other words, the center of mass
|
||
is the particle equivalent of a given object for the application of Newton's laws of
|
||
motion.
|
||
|
||
In the case of a system of particles P_i, i = 1, ..., n , each with mass m_i that are
|
||
located in space with coordinates r_i, i = 1, ..., n , the coordinates R of the center
|
||
of mass corresponds to:
|
||
|
||
R = (Σ(mi * ri) / Σ(mi))
