Centre of mass after removing material
ID: centre-of-mass-after-removing-material
Suppose a body of mass has centre of mass , and material of mass with centre of mass is removed. Additivity of the first mass moment gives the remaining centre of massWhen the original centre of mass is at the origin, the remaining centre of mass points opposite the removed material's first mass moment. For a constrained rigid body rotating about a fixed axis, this displaced centre of mass undergoes centripetal acceleration even if the applied axial torque is zero.
