Question

The centre of gravity of a rectangle will be at its:

• A. The intersection of its diagonal
• B. Centre
• C. Corners
• D. At its periphery

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The intersection of its diagonal

1. The center of gravity (CG) is the point through which the whole mass of the body operates, regardless of the position of the body.
2. The geometrical shapes that are planar (such as rectangles, triangles, circles, etc.) only have areas and no mass.
3. The centroid or center of gravity of the area of the body is the term used to describe the center of the area of such forms.
4. It should be mentioned that each and everybody has a single, unique center of gravity.
5. The intersection of a rectangular body's diagonals is where its center of gravity is positioned.

Hence, option A is correct.
