How to Calculate and Solve for the Centre of Gravity of a Cube
Last Updated on February 14, 2024
The image above is a cube with a length of 5.2 cm.
To compute the centre of gravity of a cube, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is the length of the cube (l).
The formula for calculating the centre of gravity of a cube is:
C.G. = 0.5(l)
Where:
l = Length of the Cube
C.G. = Centre of Gravity
Let’s solve an example:
Find the centre of gravity of a cube where the length of a side of the cube is 5.2 cm.
This implies that:
l = Length of the Cube = 5.2
C.G. = 0.5(5.2)
C.G. = 2.6
Therefore, the centre of gravity of the cube is 2.6.
