ely ; when the bodycomes to a state of rest, mark the di-rection of the string ; then suspend thebody by a second point, B, as before,and when it comes to rest, mark thedirection of the string; their point ofintersection, G, will be the centre ofgravity of the body. Instead of suspending the body… … 72 MECHANICS. If, therefore, the body be balanced at any two points ofits surface, and verticals be drawn through the point, inthese positions, their intersection will be the centre of gravi-ty of the body. It follows, from what has just been explained, that whena body is suspended by an axis, it…
