Take the spatial rectangular coordinate system Oxyz fixedly attached to the object, and use the coordinates xC, y C and zC to indicate the position of the center of gravity C of the object, as shown in Figure 6-25. The gravitational force on each small piece of an object is expressed by δ P 1, δ P2, ..., and it is considered that they form a spatial parallel force system. The resultant force of this parallel force system is the weight of the object:
p =σδ? p? Me?
The line of action of the resultant force passes through the center of gravity C(xC, y C, zC) of the object. According to the resultant moment theorem, there are
Px? c? =ΣΔ? p? Me? x? Me?
So there is
x? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? x? Me? p?
Similarly, available
y? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? y? Me? p?
In order to determine another coordinate zC of the object's center of gravity, the coordinate system and the object rotate 90 degrees around the Y axis, so that the X axis is vertical and the direction of gravity is parallel to the X axis ... By applying the resultant moment theorem, we can get
z? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? z? Me? p?
So the general formula for obtaining the coordinates of the center of gravity is
x? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? x? Me? p? ,? y? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? y? Me? p? ,? z? c? =? ΣΔ? p? Me? z? Me? P
