AlexLAV said:There is no need to calculate integrals. It is easy to see that center of mass of a triangle lies on its median. As a conclusion - the medians must intersect in one point, and this point is the center of mass.
The center of gravity is the point at which the entire weight of an object can be considered to act. It is the point where the object would balance if it were suspended at that point.
Center of gravity is calculated by finding the weighted average of the individual weights of all the particles that make up an object.
Center of gravity is important because it determines an object's stability and its tendency to topple over when acted upon by external forces.
The center of gravity of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect. This point is also known as the centroid of the triangle.
The center of gravity of a triangle plays a crucial role in determining its balance. If the center of gravity falls within the base of the triangle, it will be stable. However, if it falls outside the base, the triangle will be unstable and may topple over.
