CG CM Center of Mass The Center of Mass (CM) of an object or objects is the point that moves as if all of the mass were concentrated there and all the external forces were applied there. For a symmetrical object of uniform density it is the geometric center of the object. The Center of Gravity (CG) is at the point where the weight above equals the weight below. This is effectively the same place as the CM If you account for the force of gravity weakening with altitude, the CG would be slightly below the CM. Stronger Gravity Weaker Gravity The velocity of the center of mass of a system of objects is the total momentum divided by the total mass.
