How does Centre of gravity affect stability?


Open in App
Solution

  1. An object is said to be more stable if it has a lower center of gravity.
  2. If an object is pushed when it has a higher center of gravity, it is more likely to overturn.
  3. The stability of an object is affected by the location where its center of gravity is located.
  4. The stability of an object increases with decreasing center of gravity (G).
  5. The probability of falling of an object increases when pushed with height.
  6. Any object is most stable when the centre of gravity is near the centre of the base of support.
