ravity will lie in this plane, andwill therefore lie in its intersection HK with the parallelogram.For the same reason it will lie in EF, and must therefore be atG, the common point of these lines. Or, since each diagonal bi-sects all lines drawn parallel tothe other, it will be at the… … 50 STATICS. When the polygon is given, these triangles will be known,and their centers of gravity, glt g2> g3> g^ may be found byEx.2. The mass of each triangle may be considered as a heavyparticle at its center of gravity, or the weight of each, as aforce acting at its center of gravity.…
