Centre of gravity is the point from which the weight of a body or system may be considered to act. In uniform gravity it is the same as the centre of mass.The center of gravity is a geometric property of any object. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of an object with mass.

The factor on which position of centre of gravity depends on

position of centre of gravity of given mass depend on its shape and on the distribution of mass.

Position of center of mass depend upon
1) mass of rigid body
2) position of mass from axis
3) axis of system
