The center of gravity of a standing human body is roughly about an inch below navel: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/physics-and-astronomy/center-of-gravity
For a seated person the CoG is shifted forwards and up of navel, total distance and angle will vary according to the specifics of the posture: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Center-of-gravity-of-a-person-in-sitting-posture-Body-segmental-Lengths-are-reported-in_fig2_256203106
The antrophomorphic test dummies mimic the proportions, weight distribution and kinematics of a human body as close as possible, for obvious reasons: to accurately replicate the response of a human body to forces, the ATD must resemble it accurately, not just as a whole, but down to its individual part also.
