center of gravity of "N" masses

Hi,

I wonder if there is a component that calculates the center of gravity of "N" given volumes with same density ( for the moment ).

I thought volumes analysis components under surface's tag could have been the solution but they seem to be working on single volumes

does anyone to know how to solve this problem, what i want to find is the 3D position of Gtot of the whole system ?

many thanks in advance , cheers

    Hi dear Petras and many thanks for you answer !! the logic is clear and it make sotally sense i guess also for volumes ... i am using Gh without fancy incons...shame on me but i am not able to understand what the right bottom icon stand for..would you post the definition?

    thanks

    Take points from volume battery and plug them into average battery to get "centre point".

    For weighted average you can use total volume of your brep:

    Would you not also want to be using m^3 (volume properties) instead of m^2 (area properties)?
