Question

Does the center of gravity of a body change when it is deformed?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Center of gravity is the hypothetical point at which the entire weight of the body is concentrated.
  2. The center of gravity depends on the distribution of mass.
  3. If a body is deformed, its shape and in turn mass distribution changes.

Hence, the center of gravity of a body does change when it is deformed.
