Center of mass similar, e.g., Pluto and Charon, the barycenter will fall outside both bodies. When high jumpers perform a "Fosbury Flop", they bend their respective bodies in such a way that they clear the bar while their respective centers of mass do not necessarily do so. Because it is the height of the center of gravity (rather than of the highest part of the body) that constrains the minimum energy investment for "clearing" the bar, "snaking over" the bar can reduce the energy expended in propelling the body upward. In kinesiology and biomechanics, the center of mass is an important parameter that
