Now the proof for the parallel axis theorem is fairly easy to follow but I couldn't understand a part which says,
$\int{dm}{\vec{r_c}}={\vec{0}}$$$\int{dm}{\vec{r_c}}={\vec{0}}.$$
This sums up the product of each particle's mass and it's perpendicular distance from the axis passing through the centre of mass.
Can somebody please explain how this is true
