单词 centre of mass
释义
centre of mass

Physics
  • The point at which the whole mass of a body may be considered to be concentrated. This is the same as the centre of gravity, the point at which the whole weight of a body may be considered to act, if the body is situated in a uniform gravitational field.


Mathematics
  • Suppose that particles P1,…, Pn, with corresponding masses m1,…, mn, have position vectors r1,…, rn, respectively. The centre of mass (or centroid) is the point with position vector rC, given by

    mrC=i=1nmiri,wherem=i=1nmi,

    m being the total mass of the particles.

    For a rigid body, the corresponding definitions involve integrals. In vector form, the position vector rC of the centre of mass is given by

    mrC=Rρ(r)rdVwherem=Rρ(r)dV.

    where ρ‎(r) is the density at the point with position vector r, R is the region occupied by the body and m is the total mass of the body.


Astronomy
  • The point in a body or system of bodies which acts as if all the mass were concentrated there; also known as centre of inertia. The gravitational force between two massive bodies acts along the line joining their centres of mass. For a sphere of uniform density, or a sphere whose density varies radially from the centre, the centre of mass is at the centre of the sphere. In a uniform gravitational field, a body’s centre coincides with its centre of gravity.
