Hi Satyam,

 

For a uniform Cuboid, the centre of mass will be at the Body Centre.

 

So that would be at a height of 20cm from the base, and the middle of the Length and Breadth (15cm, 10cm).

 

Hope that helps.

 

Best Regards,

Ashwin (IIT Madras).

The center of mass will be located at a distance of (15cm (x-axis),10(y-axis),20(z-axis)) if mass is uniformly distributed in the cuboid
