What is the difference between centre of gravity,centroid and centre of mass ?
Centroid is the geometric centre of a plane figure or object
Centroid divides the shape into regions of equal moments.
Centre of mass is the mean location of all masses in a system
Centre of gravity is the point through which the weight of a body acts.
All these will coincide for a plane figure with uniform density and uniform distribution of mass
