The theory of the resultant action of gravity , which will be given under Abstract
Dynamics , shows that , except in a definite class of distributions of matter , there
is no fixed point which can properly be called the Centre of Gravity of a rigid body
.

Again , it is to be noticed that nothing is said as to the body being under the
action of one force only ; so that we may logically put a part of the second law in
the following ( apparently ) amplified form : When any forces whatever act on a
body ...

... for instance , with trains of various lengths started by the same locomotive : it is
exactly realized in such cases as the action of an electrified body on a number of
solid or hollow spheres of the same external diameter , and of different metals .
