When calculating torque the point at which the entire weight of a body can be considered to act is called?

The point at which the entire weight of a body can be considered to act is called the center of gravity. This point is crucial in torque calculations, as it simplifies the analysis of rotational forces by allowing the weight to be treated as if it is concentrated at this single point. The torque is then calculated by multiplying the force (weight) by the distance from the pivot point to the center of gravity.
