Let's see.

Explanation:

The center of mass is the mean position of the entire mass of an object at which the acceleration due to gravity & the gravitational forces actually act upon.

The two points lie at the same location only when the gravitational field is uniform across the object.

Hence,

#"COM"=(M_1+M_2+M_3+....M_n)/n#

#:.C_m=int_1^n(M_i)#

#"COM"# & #C_m# being the centre of mass & #M_i# being the unit points of mass.

Hope it Helps:)
