operation till the last point, G, is found ; thiswill be the centre of gravity of the perimeter. To find the centre of gravity of the area, divide it intothe least number of triangles j)ossible, and find the centreof gravity of each triangle. The weights of these triangleswill be proportional to… … OO : 00 : : ABO : AOD; Fig. 88. 68 MECHANICS. then will G be the centre of grav-ity of the two triangles ABC andA CD.
