Hi all and thanks for taking the time to consider my question.

I have a hollow pipe that is cantilevered at its base with a bending load at its top. I would like to find the displacement of its centre of gravity. The problem is that the CoG is in mid air at approx the centre of the pipe. Is there a simple way for me to find the CoG displacement? If not, any not-so-simple suggestions?

Thanks again,

mgri
