CENTER OF GRAVITY
•The point where a body may be hung 
without rotating. 
•The point where the weight of the body 
is concentrated. 
•Located at the geometric center of a 
regularly-shaped body. 
Center of Gravity
Location of Center of Gravity in 
Regularly-Shaped Bodies
There are objects whose center of gravity lie 
outside the body.
How about in the human body?
1.Age – relatively higher in infants and 
children compared to adults 
2.Sex – higher in males than in females 
3.Body build – located in the vicinity of 
the more massive part of the body 
Factors Affecting Location of Center 
of Gravity in the Human Body
Comparison of Factors Affecting Location of Center of 
Gravity in the Human Body Relative to Age and Sex
Comparison of Factors Affecting Location of Center of 
Gravity in the Human Body Relative to Load being 
Carried
1. vicinity of second 
sacral vertebra 
2. 6 inches above 
the crotch 
3. approximately 
55% of a person’s 
height 
General Descriptions of the Location of 
Center of Gravity
Location of center of gravity shifts whenever 
the person shifts position.
Positions where center of gravity is outside 
the body.
