MCQ
Where should be the centre of gravity of a body ?
- AIt must lie within the body.
- ✓It may be near but not essentially within the body.
- CIt changes its position from time to time.
- DIt must be outside the body.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
It may be near but not essentially within the body.
The centre of gravity of the body lies at the point where the resultant weight of the body is supposed to act. Centre of gravity may or may not lie inside the body. For example, centre of gravity of rim lies at its geometric centre.
