Physics · Centre of mass of a two-particle system, centre of mass of a rigid body
Center of gravity is usually located where
Center of gravity is usually located where
- A. less mass is concentrated
- B. less weight is concentrated
- C. more mass is concentrated
- D. more weight is concentrated
Step-by-step solution
The center of gravity is the point where the entire weight of the body acts. In a uniform gravitational field, it coincides with the center of mass, which is the average position of mass distribution. It is generally located closer to regions of higher mass concentration, making option C correct.
