Center of Mass Calculation for Various Shapes

The center of mass position is given by m1 x1 + m2 x2 / m1 + m2, known as the mass weighted mean of m1 and m2.
In a system of two particles, knowing their masses and coordinates allows for easy determination of the center of mass.
If the masses of two particles are equal (m1 = m2), the center of mass will be at x1 + x2 / 2, exactly midway between the particles.
In three dimensions, the center of mass coordinates are x, y, and z, calculated as the sum of m x, m y, and m z divided by the total mass.
For a rigid body with continuous mass distribution, the center of mass position vector can be written as r = 1 / m ∫ r dm.
Homogeneous bodies have uniform mass distribution, with their center of mass coinciding with their geometric center.
The center of mass of a sphere, cylinder, ring, and cube with uniform mass density is at their geometric centers.
