How can you find the centre of gravity of a India map made of steel? Explain.
Answers
We need to calculate the Centre of the gravity of the Indian map made up of the steel.
Since, Indian Map does not have the geometrical significance. I means that it does not have the Proper shape like any shape in Geometry. Thus, we need to considered it has irregular.
Now, By considering it as irregular, we can calculate the Centre of the gravity by the method of finding the centre of gravity in case of Irregular lamina.
Steps for it ⇒
1. First create the small three hole on three opposite sides of the Indian Map. Then, From first hole, tie the thread and suspend the map. When the map is suspended, then the line going starlight to the bottom of the map is marked.
2. Same method is applied in second hole and third hole. Ans two more lines are marked on the map.
3. Note the Point of the Intersection of the three lines. Where these points meets, the centre of the gravity of the Map lie at theta place.
This method can be used to find the centre of the gravity of any irregular lamina or any irregular body.
Hope it helps. :-)
