Center of Mass (COm) or
Gravity (COG)
It is an imaginary point where
there is intersection of all 3
cardinal plane.
Imaginary point where all the
mass of the body or system is
concentrated
Point where the body’s mass is
equally distributed

In the human body also
called stress

3rd Law of Motion
For every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction
(torque and/or force)
Contact forces: GRF, other
players etc.
