State whether the following statement is true or false :
on deformation of a body, the position of its centre of gravity does not change.
State whether the following statement is true or false :
on deformation of a body, the position of its centre of gravity does not change.
The correct option is B False
Step 1. To define center of gravity
Centre of gravity means a point at which the weight of a body or system may be considered to act. In uniform gravity, it is the same as the center of mass.
Step 2. Center of gravity for regular bodies.
For regular bodies, it is the same as the center of that particular body.
Step 3. What will happen if body is deform?
If we deform a body, it might change the shape leading to the change in center of gravity or else it might become an irregular body that might not be uniform.
Step 4. To determine if the statement is true or false.
Since on deforming the body the center of gravity is changed. So, the given statement is false.
The given statement is false.
