Center of Gravity: From Physics to Krishna & Hanuman"

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article explores the scientific principle of Center of Gravity (CG) and its relation to both physics and mythology. The paper explains how manipulating CG reduces torque and effort in lifting heavy objects, illustrated with equations and engineering parallels. Mythological references such as Hanuman lifting a mountain and Krishna balancing Govardhana Hill are reinterpreted through the lens of physics. Figures demonstrate torque mechanics, equilibrium, and balance. Beyond physics, the concept of CG is extended as a metaphor for stability in life and philosophy.
