Center: Encyclopedia II - Center of gravity - Similarities between center of mass and center of inertia

In a uniform gravitational field (in other words, when the tidal force is insignificant), the center of mass and the center of gravity are at the same location. In a radially uniform gravitational field (such as the one formed by a typical star), the center of mass and the center of gravity of a radially symmetric object (such as planets and stars) are both at the center of the sphere. ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Center of mass - Motion of the center of mass

The following equations of motion assume that there is a system of particles governed by internal and external forces. An internal force is a force caused by the interaction of the particles within the system. An external force is a force that originates from outside the system, and acts on one or more particles within the system. The external force need not be due to a uniform field. For any system with no external forces, the center of mass moves with constant velocity. This applies for all systems with classical internal forces, in ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Center of mass - Definition

The center of mass is defined as the weighted average of position, with in the discrete case the masses as weights, and in the continuous case the density function as the weight function. Thus the center of mass of an object is the position vector given by: . ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Center of mass - Barycenter

When talking about celestial bodies, the center of mass has a special relevance: when a moon orbits around planet, or a planet orbits around a star, both of them are actually orbiting around their center of mass, called the barycenter, see two-body problem. The barycenter (from the Greek βαρύκεντρον) is the center of mass of two or more bodies which are orbiting each other, and is the point around which both of them orbit. It is an important concept in the fie ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Center Parcs - Background

Center Parcs started out in a forest in The Netherlands as a new type of holiday resort, founded by Dutch businessman Piet Derksen. The idea was to combine relaxation in a natural setting with sporting and leisure activities. Over the years, Center Parcs has expanded greatly, and now has 19 resorts in The Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany and England. Accommodation in Center Parcs is traditionally provided in the form of villas. These are outwardly compact, spacious buildings, clustered together in such a way ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - AT&T Center - AT&T Center Origins

Previously, the Spurs played at the Alamodome, a multi-purpose facility with a configuration that allowed half the floor space to be used for basketball. although the Alamodome was still relatively new (opening in 1993) it had become clear over the years that the Spurs were using the dome for much of the year making it difficult to schedule contiguous dates for conventions or even a regular season football schedule. Although seating capacity in the Alamodome made the facility one of the largest in the NBA, the Spurs and fans became were not ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Getty Center - Architecture

The Getty Center, designed by architect Richard Meier, is the flagship museum of the J. Paul Getty Trust. Its design has feng shui influences. It has a seven-story deep underground parking garage with over 2,000 parking spaces. It is located on a hill in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California overlooking the 405 Freeway and is open to the public for free (although there is a charge for parking). The Getty Center is high enough that on a clear day, it is possible to see the snow at Big Bear as well as the Pacific Ocean and the entire Los Angeles basin. Much of the buildings and grounds are made of trav ...

The museum collects and exhibits classical sculpture and art, European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculpture, decorative arts, and photographs. In respect to Getty's collecting intentions, the museum does not generally collect 20th or 21st century art, with the exception of photography. In 1974, J. Paul Getty opened his first museum in a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum on his property in Malibu, California. In 1997 the museum moved to its current location in Brentwood, and the original Malibu museum, renamed t ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Center of gravity - Centers of gravity of simple objects

If two bodies are rigidly fixed to each other, then the center of gravity of the combination lies on the line joining the centers of gravity of the individual bodies. In symmetric bodies, the CG lies on the line of symmetry. If there are two or more lines of symmetry, then the CG is at the point of intersection of these lines. The CG of a rectangle is at the intersection of the two diagonals. This principle is used in the example given below. The CG of a triangle lies on the median (line joining the vertex to the mid-point of the opposite side ...

A simple experiment to locate the center of gravity of a "2-D" object: You will need: 1) A roughly cut piece of cardboard [lamina](for best results just tear a piece of carboard off) 2) Some string 3) A weight of some sort (not very heavy, but heavy enough to hold string down) 4) A punch (or some sort of device which can be used to puncture a hole in the carboard) 5) 2 pencils 6) Scissors with which t ...

Here is an interesting way of determining the CG of an 'L' shaped 2-D object as given in fig 1: 1) Devide the shape into two rectangles, as shown in fig 2. Find the CGs of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line joining the CGs. The CG of the 'L' shape must lie on this line AB. 2) Devide the shape into two other rectangles, as shown in fig 3. Find the CGs of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line ...

Center: Encyclopedia II - Data center - Descriptions

A data center is a facility used for housing a large amount of electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. As the name implies, a data center is usually maintained by an organization for the purpose of handling the data necessary for its operations. A bank for example may have a data center, where all its customers' account information is maintained and transactions involving this data are carried out. Practically every company that is mid-sized or larger has some kind of data center with the larger compani ...
