I don't think so. Though it clearly need not lie within the object.
Not much to go on there. What are you meaning. Are you designing an aircraft as c of g is very important for gliding. Brian
Actually centre of balance might be a better term in some cases as although everything in theory has gravity the bigger the thing the more the gravity.
He will be asking about Gyroscopes next. Brian
It is clearly visible in the same way gravity is. :-)

Absolutely not. If you have a sonic screwdriver to access it.
Ah so what speed does it travel at ?
