The Idea of the Center of Gravity (1x1)

Show finale

Air date: Jan 01, 1969

All of the weight of an object is at its center of gravity, says Miller. However, the center of gravity is not always at a point on the object. This leads to a few amazing balancing acts based on one principle: an odd-shaped system can stay in balance when its center of gravity is below the point of support.
