CENTRE OF MASS:
1) the centre of mass of a body is the point with respect to body at which the entire mass of the system is concentrated
2) it refers to the mass of the body
3)in case of small and regular body centre of mass and centre of gravity will coincide
4)it does not depends on acceleration due to gravity
CENTRE OF GRAVITY:
1) the centre of gravity of a body is the point fixed relative to the body through which the weight of the body always acts
2)it refers to the weight acting on all particles of the body
3)in case of larger body centre of gravity will not coincide with centre of mass
4)it depends on acceleration due to the gravity
