| Oct 26, 2020 at 12:45 | comment | added | Ankit | why do we need to define a point and not an axis ? | |
| Oct 26, 2020 at 12:13 | comment | added | John Alexiou | @Ankit Because an axis defines a locus of points and not a unique point. The center of mass is a unique point and its definition must reflect that, | |
| Oct 26, 2020 at 12:03 | comment | added | Ankit | why isn't it sufficient to define center of mass by means of rotation axis ? I have added some points to the question. Hope you respond accordingly | |
