Enumerant Notes
For a <Geometric Centre> instance A that is a component of an
<Aggregate Geometry> instance representing a "body" B, the
<Location 3D> instance specified by A represents the centre of
buoyancy of B - a point where, if B is partly or
wholly immersed in a fluid, A is a point where the
force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by B
acts upon B.
For a <Geometric Centre> instance A that is a component of an
<Aggregate Geometry> instance representing a "body" B, the
<Location 3D> instance specified by A represents the centre of
mass of B - a point where the mass of B can be
considered to be concentrated when analyzing B's motion.
For a <Geometric Centre> instance A that is a component of an
<Aggregate Geometry> instance representing a "body" B, the
<Location 3D> instance specified by A represents the centre of
pressure of B - a point where all the aerodynamic forces
acting upon B can be considered to act when analyzing
the motion of B.
