Use this center of gravity calculator to find the balanced point of a system of masses.
How to Use the Center of Gravity Calculator
Enter the x and y coordinates along with their respective masses for up to three points. Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the center of gravity.
How It Calculates the Center of Gravity
The center of gravity is calculated using the formula:
xCg = (x1 * m1 + x2 * m2 + x3 * m3) / (m1 + m2 + m3)
yCg = (y1 * m1 + y2 * m2 + y3 * m3) / (m1 + m2 + m3)
This calculates the weighted average of the provided points’ coordinates.
Limitations
This calculator is limited to calculating the center of gravity for up to three points. Ensure all input fields are filled with valid numbers to obtain accurate results.
