...however it may be situated in other respects. The centre of gravity of a body is not always rcithin the body itself: thus the centre of gravity of a ring is not in the substance of the ring, but in the axis of its circumscribing cylinder ; and the centre of gravity of a hollow staff, or of a bone, is... | |
