Step 1
The Center of mass of a body or object is a point where the whole mass of the body is assumed to be concentrated at. For a composite system center of mass is the average distance of all components of the system.
The weight per unit volume of a body is defined as the specific weight of the body. Its unit in British system in lb/in3.
