The definition may be extended to the case of a systemof bodies if we suppose them and their centre of gravityto be rigidly connected. 160. The Centre of Gravity of Two Bodies. Let P and Q (Fig. 91) be any twobodies of known weight.… … 170 STATICS. [161. shall divide the distance between them in the inverseratio of the forces. Therefore, if the straight line ABbe drawn and the point G taken on it, so that AGBG 9P G will be the centre of gravity of P and Q.
