centres of gravity

Mass distribution midpoints

Centres of gravity is the British spelling of centers of gravity, the plural of center of gravity.

In physics, an object's center of gravity is the point where its weight is evenly distributed in all directions—the spot where you could theoretically balance it on a fingertip.

Figuratively, a centre of gravity is the focal point or most important element of something: The tech industry remains the centre of gravity for venture capital investment.
