in the line which joins the vertex withthe centre of gravity of the base, and at a distance from the vertex equal tothree-fourths of this line. These rules, it must be remembered, presupposethat the several bodies are of uniform density. In order to determine experimentally the centre of gravity of… … Fig. 43 Fig. 44. 57 periments intersect each other is the centre of gravity required. For, theresultant of the earths attraction being a vertical force applied at the centreof gravity, the body can only be in equilibrium when the point lies verticallyunder the point of suspension ; that is, in the…
