Centre of Gravity: Finding the Balance Point of Irregular Objects

The video tutorial explains the concept of center of gravity, particularly for irregular shapes. It demonstrates an experiment using a Plumb line to find the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped card. The tutorial highlights the importance of understanding the center of gravity for stability in various applications, such as manufacturing and aviation. It emphasizes that the center of gravity is the point where the mass of an object is concentrated and is crucial for ensuring balance and safety.
