The basic idea of the center of mass is the notion of a balancing point. Many of us have seen performers who spin plates on the ends of sticks. The performers try to keep several of them spinning without allowing any of them to drop. Mathematically, that sweet spot is called the center of mass of the plate.

    If you support a body at its center of mass (in a uniform gravitational field) it balances perfectly. That's the definition of the center of mass of the body.

It explains how to find the moments about an axis and the center of mass for planar objects and systems with variable density. The section covers the formulas and applications, providing examples that illustrate the concepts of mass distribution in physical systems.

The density is usually considered to be a constant number when the lamina or the object is homogeneous; that is, the object has uniform density.
