Once she began, you felt that she would never stop, and this hopeless sensation, characterizing the motion of ships whose
centre of gravity is brought down too low in loading, made everyone on board weary of keeping on his feet.
But in his hurry he overlooked a paving-stone in his way, stumbled, lost his
centre of gravity, rolled over to a distance of some yards, and only rose again, bruised and begrimed, after the whole rabble of the Hague, with their muddy feet, had passed over him.
But as if at a signal every sail was furled, the arms folded, the body drawn in, the shells turned over, changing their
centre of gravity, and the whole fleet disappeared under the waves.
This property is the hitting, in all the figures we draw, the right

For example, if you fall over a cliff, you move under the influence of gravitation, and your
centre of gravity describes just as correct a parabola as if you were already dead.
The company says the new range features a new 4 wheel design which lowers the machines
centre of gravity so the units are therefore easier to pull or push and perform very well on uneven surfaces, construction sites or difficult agricultural environments.
At one end of the spectrum, then-Lieutenant Colonel Trent Scott asserted that COG was a "flawed concept," stating that "what does invalidate the
centre of gravity is the reductive hypothesis that underlies the practical application of the concept." His key concern was that COG analysis reduces complex systems to a single point of focus and subsequently leaves staff open to a confirmation bias.
This would happen only when the
centre of gravity in terms of political power and policy initiation have shifted from Rawalpindi to Islamabad.
Secondly, the new
centre of gravity this time, while mostly located in Asia, is not a single country with a coherent foreign policy like the US.
The
centre of gravity has been lowered and the driver's seat dropped by 40mm.
