Holy hell I don't understand why this channel has so few subscribers, it's insanely good, it's funny, it entertains and it's actually extremely well paced and ensures that it gives multiple perspectives you could encounter when tackling a problem. I tip my hat to you Sir!

[megscorner]

Thank you so much for teaching physics! I couldn't understand the center of mass and thought I would never until I saw these videos! Thank you so much!

[devrimblup]

I can honestly say this is the best channel for me on youtube. And you are the best physics teacher i have ever saw. You really really help me. I wanna say thank you very very much

[DisisSid]

reall good stuff man, i really like educational content that i can just binge all day

[quahntasy]

Nice video! Didn't really needed to know about this but it was fun to watch!

3:10 Ouch....you don't have to hurt me that way 😆

[aravindhanr]

very excellent videos to learn concept from beginning .the way you approached to solve problems like a beginer makes to connect with you very easily.keep rocking

[Adumbb]

will this be tested for the ap phys 1 exam?

[RaviRanjan-ovci]

You Guys are awesome
Sadly I didn't find you in my JEE PREPARATION DAYS
Anyway Now i can

Well we could also take the vertices of the shape to be point masses [taking one of them on the origin] and plot them on a coordinate system and calculate the system's Centre of mass, like in the previous video.
I did it that way and got the answer for the X-CM but I think I did some calculation mistake in the Y-CM.
I done it this way because the shape was given constant density.

Everybody brought thiccness to the party

Please do ur videos on fluid mechanics

[DarthVader-funr]

Hey there! Just wondering if you can use volume instead of area and still get the same answer?

[OlaitanAzeezat-ii]

When deriving the r3 why did you subtract 6.8 from 22

[gardenmenuuu]

sir isn't center of mass moment of inertia/mass or we ignore the distance squared term?Please help me solve this doubt

[OlaitanAzeezat-ii]

I don't understand how you got L1, w1 and L2 with w2

[LegalizeAlejandro]

I think you're using physics as an excuse to show of your performance art hahaha
