What you'll learn

  1. Two buckets: The centre of mass: x = Σmx / Σm
  2. Stick and loads: A uniform stick's own mass acts at its middle
  3. Heavier at one end: A rod whose density changes: x = ∫xλ dx / ∫λ dx
  4. L-shaped sheet: Split a shape into pieces with simple centres
  5. Heavier toward the edge: A sheet whose density changes: add up thin strips
  6. Disc with a hole: A hole is a negative mass
  7. Rest at any tilt: A toy that rests at any tilt
