Summary

The centre of mass of a body is the average position of its mass, with each point weighted by the density there. For a body with a continuous density it is a quotient of triple integrals, or of double integrals for a plane lamina.

What this node needs for W1
  • an inventory row: the row of the inventory that the node accounts for (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
