Mechanical Engineering: Centroids & Center of Gravity (1 of 35) What is Center of Gravity?

In this video I will explain what is the center of gravity.

Next video in this series can be seen at:

Professor nowadays are fearful to use their whiteboards. Instead they rely heavily on their powerpoints and quickly lose the attention of their class. Instead of powerpoints they should we called weakpoints! Shout out to you for keeping it interesting and thorough!

Thank you for these videos on Mechanical Engineering Michel, right in time, since I am currently dealing with this topic.
Passing all subjects in my first year at college was possible because of you to some extent.
Keep going, and thank you again, you are a top notch teacher.

[connormckenny]

Wow, this series has been amazingly helpful. I would probably have failed my statics class without it. You're an awesome teacher!

This guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for saving numbers of engineering undergrats

[riteshguptaself-owneddesig]

Your voice is so crystal clear n loud enough too

[ilhalee]

This saved my life. I absolutely adore and send much gratitude to you

[MichelvanBiezen]

We are working on them.  They'll be uploaded soon.

Finally I know why I can balance two forks on a tooth pick. I fulfilled my purpose in life. Thank you Mr. Michael

Mass & energy move from higher energy density to lower energy density region due to force field induced by difference in energy density. This field is directed towards lower energy density region. Therefore center of mass must be a place of minimum energy density density. In case of single mass, center of mass is located inside the mass while for gravitationally bound masses it could lie outside the mass. By same token center of all particles must also be place of minimum energy density to holds particle together.

best ever on centroids & centre of gravity...sooo goooos

[shristydahal]

Thanks a lot sir! I have no knowledge of coG ...but you teach so well ... actually I am doing assignments on this topic ...it will help me a lot

[jasondavidvailoces]

I hope you were my Professor! -a fan from the Philippines

[yogeshranamagar]

i really appreciate ur work sir. it would be very grateful if u upload rest of the 15 videos

[beerappah]

Hi Michel,

Could you plz upload all the videos of centroid lecuture series ..it would be great help...

[eddygci]

This guy should be the standard by which students pass their tests for engineering

[mwansachikonde]

Wow thank you very much sir, what book can I use along with these videos?

[khaleda]

How can I connect with you professor?. Your videos are great.

So if we design a good flash light can lift even ca car and throw it by entangle with center gravity of the car

[stephenbrowne]

Please, can do a number of videos on concrete structures such as concrete beams, columns, slabs, and foundations. Surely, you could simplify things.

Thank you,

The equation xw = x1w1 + x2w2 + x3w3... feels right, and I know it is, but I'm having trouble proving it. Since that's the basis for the "centroid = ..." equation, is there any way that you could point me in the right direction for a proof of that?
