Shreyas Patil · Answer

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero or the point where if a force is applied causes it to move in direction of force without rotation.

@ hayathi
COM is besically a point at which all of the mass of a body is supposed to be concentrated .
if an object is balanced at this point , no net torque act on this object and it will remain in equilibrium .
the concept is usefull in the case of rotational motion and size of object doesnot matter , only mass matters here ,
ALL THE BEST ..
