  1. Locating the Center of Gravity & Toppling By: Brandon Chabala& Kyle Hahn

  2. Center of Gravity • Point at the center of an object’s weight distribution, where the force of gravity can be considered to act • All shapes have a Center of Gravity • Located at object’s average position of weight • On a baseball – It is at the geometric center • On a baseball bat – It is more towards the heavier end

  3. How to Find Center of Gravity

  4. Toppling • If the center of gravity of an object is above the center of support the object will remain upright • If center of gravity extends outside the area of support, the object will topple
