The 19 pages that link to Center of gravity, each with the reason it gives.

• CentroidRelated: In a uniform gravitational field, it coincides with the center of mass and often the centroid.

• Ship stabilityRelated: Cargo, ballast, and suspended loads shift this point and alter the vessel’s stability.

• SteadicamRelated: Balancing the camera around this point makes the rig controllable without tipping.

• Aircraft stabilityRelated: Its position relative to the aerodynamic center strongly affects longitudinal stability.

• Penny-farthingRelated: The rider's high position over the front wheel contributes to the danger of pitching forward.

• Canard (aeronautics)Related: Its position relative to the canard and main wing strongly affects trim and stability.

• Flying wingRelated: Its position relative to the aerodynamic center strongly affects a flying wing’s stability.

• CanoeRelated: A low, centered load makes a canoe less likely to capsize.

• Metacentric heightRelated: Its position relative to the metacenter determines the sign and magnitude of metacentric height.

• AirplaneRelated: Its position affects an airplane’s balance, stability, and controllability.

• Free surface effectRelated: The liquid’s sideways shift acts like a rise in the vessel’s effective center of gravity.

• Flat engineRelated: A low-mounted flat engine can lower a vehicle’s center of gravity.

• Flatbed truckRelated: A high or off-center cargo mass can destabilize the truck.

• ForkliftRelated: The load and truck centers of gravity together determine stability.

• Abbas ibn FirnasRelated: The reported difficulty of landing safely highlights the importance of balance and weight distribution.

• EmpennageRelated: Its position relative to the tail affects longitudinal balance and stability.

• Model aircraftRelated: Its position strongly affects a model's balance and stability.

• Lawn dart effectRelated: An excessively aft center of gravity can reduce stability and make recovery difficult.
