What is the center of gravity of a uniform beam of length L?

Correct Answer: L/2

Step 1: Understand that a uniform beam means it has the same weight and density throughout its length.
Step 2: Recognize that the center of gravity is the point where the weight of the beam is evenly distributed on both sides.
Step 3: Since the beam is uniform, the center of gravity will be at the midpoint of the beam.
Step 4: Calculate the midpoint by dividing the total length of the beam (L) by 2.
Step 5: Conclude that the center of gravity is located at L/2.
