Centre of Gravity of my montra

Apparatus used
Cycle
2 pieces of Rope, one long and one short
Hook
Pull up bar
Weight
Measuring tape

Steps for the experiment


1. Take the short piece of rope and tie the hook to it. Then tie the rope to the pull-up
bar, with the hook suspended downwards
2. Take the long piece of rope and tie the weight to it, and then tie the rope to the
pull-up bar.
3. Take the cycle and mark two points where the cycle can be hung on the hook
(eg. the seat and the wheel).
4. Hang the cycle by one of the points and mark two points, where the weighted
rope passes through. Measure the distance between the two points. Record your
findings.
5. Hang the cycle by the different points and repeat step 5
6. Find the points where the lines intersect and that is the centre of gravity.
7. Record your findings.
My findings

Length 127cm (approx) height 76cm(approx)


The intersection cuts the length roughly at 77cm
