How to obtained center of mass of irregular body ?

Please tell me practical method to determine center of mass of irregular body which can be performed at home.

Your Answer

Hello Dear, According to me, Depending on the weight of the object, you need a piece of string or cable. Hang the object, using the string/cable. The direction of the string/cable will always point to the centre of mass. Repeat this 3 or 4 times, from different angles to triangulate the centre of mass in 3 dimensions.
