Q
A body is composed of an infinite number of particles of differential size, and so if the body is located within a gravitational field, then each of these particles will have a weight dW, as shown in figure a. These weights will form an approximately parallel force system, and the resultant of this system is the total weight of the body, which passes through a single point called the ____________________ .
