The center of mass is a position defined relative to an object or system of objects. It is the average position of all the parts of the system, weighted according to their masses.For simple rigid objects with uniform density, the center of mass is located at the centroid. For example, the center of mass of a uniform disc shape would be at its center. Sometimes the center of mass doesn't fall anywhere on the object. The center of mass of a ring for example is located at its center, where there isn't any material.
For more complicated shapes, we need a more general mathematical definition of the center of mass : it is the unique position at which the weighted position vectors of all the parts of a system sum up to zero
How can we find the center of mass of any object or system?In general the center of mass can be found by vector addition of the weighted position vectors which point to the center of mass of each object in a system. One quick technique which lets us avoid the use of vector arithmetic is finding the center of mass separately for components along each axis.
