Alright Hølüwårh — let's do this. Here are the locations of the center of mass for each body, assuming uniform mass density, and the answer to your question: (i) Sphere: The center of mass is located at its geometric center. (ii) Cylinder: The center of mass is located at the midpoint of its axis of symmetry. (iii) Ring: The center of mass is located at the center of the ring (the center of the hollow space). (iv) Cube: The center of mass is located at its geometric center, where its diagonals intersect. No, the center of mass of a body does not necessarily lie inside the body. A common example is a ring, where the center of mass is at the center of the hollow space, which is outside the material of the ring itself. Got more? Send 'em!
