Weight Balancing on Boundaries

Given a polygonal region containing a target point (which we assume is the origin), it is not hard to see that there are two points on the perimeter that are antipodal, that is, whose midpoint is the origin. We prove three generalizations of this fact. (1) For any polygon (or any compact planar set) containing the origin, it is possible to place a given set of weights on the boundary so that their barycenter (center of mass) coincides with the origin, provided that the largest weight does not exceed the sum of the other weights. (2) On the boundary of any 3-dimensional compact set containing the origin, there exist three points that form an equilateral triangle centered at the origin. (3) For any $d$-dimensional bounded convex polyhedron containing the origin, there exists a pair of antipodal points consisting of a point on a $\lfloor d/2 \rfloor$-face and a point on a $\lceil d/2\rceil$-face.
