Question

State whether following statements are true or false :
(a) On deformation of a body, the position of its centre of gravity does not change.
(b) The centre of gravity of a freely suspended body is always vertically below the point of suspension​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The answers are

(a) False

(b) True
