Seite 46 - The following general proposition concerning the centre of gravity, contains the property which is most important in a practical point of view. PROP. When a body is placed upon a horizontal plane, it will stand or fall according as the vertical line through the centre of gravity falls within or without the base.

When a heavy body is suspended from a point about which it can turn freely, it will rest with its centre of gravity in the vertical line passing through the point of suspension.
Seite 49 - PROP. When a heavy body is suspended from a point about which it can turn freely, it will rest with its centre of gravity in the vertical line passing through the point of suspension. For let O be the point of suspension, G the centre of gravity, and suppose that G is not in the vertical line through
