Explain why the center of mass of an object (such as the boomerang in Fig. Q7.3) may not be ???inside??? the object. We discussed how the center of mass can be thought of as the ???balance point??? of an object. How might you use the idea of a balance point to locate the center of mass in cases in which the center of mass is outside the object?
