ght y. BV, which is not counterbalanced by anyother moment, and this cannot vanish imless 8V= 0, i. e.unless the line joining B and G is vertical. Whence thesame conclusion as before. CoE. This proposition leads to a mode of determiningthe centre of gravity of a body which may sometimes… … of suspension be noted in each case,—the point of intersec-tion of two such lines is the centre of gravity sought, 81. In the proposition, G may either be directly aboveor below 8 when in a positionof equilibrium; but the nature ofthe equilibrium is very different inthe two cases. In fig. 2 if the…
