State two factors on which the position of Center of Gravity of a body depends.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The position of the centre of gravity of a body depends mainly on two factors:

  1. Shape of the body
  2. Distribution of mass in the body

Explanation:

The position of the centre of gravity depends on the shape of the body and on how its mass is distributed.
For example, two rods may have the same shape and size, but if one rod is uniform and the other is heavier at one end, their centres of gravity will be at different positions.
