Question

State whether true or false :

The position of centre of gravity of a body remains unchanged even when the body is deformed.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Ambiguous
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Centre of gravity means a point on 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. For regular bodies it is same as centre of that particular body. But if we deform it, it might change the shape leading the change in centre of gravity or else it might become irregular body that might not be uniform. Hence centre of gravity's position changes. Hence given statement is false.
