What is center of gravity of a body?
The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.
Does the center of gravity of a solid body always lie within the body?
The center of gravity of a solid body does not always lie within the body. An example of this is a hula hoop. The center of gravity does not lie on the hoop that rotates.
What is an object's center of gravity?
That "point" in a body where the entire weight of the body can be represented to be present. Extend your knowledge by exploring where the center of gravity would be for metal shapes formed in the shapes of circular, square, rectanglar, hexagonal rings with metal rods. Where would the center of gravity be, on the ring or outside the ring?
Where is the center of gravity of human body?

When center of mass and center of gravity are equal?
For a uniform symmetric body in all directions the center of mass and center of gravity are the same point. Comment: I would say this happens when the force of gravity is the same at all points on a body. That means there are no variations in the gravitational field.
What is forward head posture?
Forward head posture is described as carrying the head forward of the center of the shoulder. As your head moves forward, your center of gravity shifts. To compensate for this shift in the center of gravity, your upper body drifts backward. To compensate for the upper body shift, your hips tilt forward. And this is how you end up getting bent out of shape.

What is the center of gravity of the elderly person?
The center of gravity for adults is the hips. However, as the person grows older, a stooped posture is common because of the changes from osteoporosis and normal bone degeneration, and the knees, hips, and elbows flex. This stooped posture results in the upper torso being the center of gravity for the elderly person.
Why is gravity so important to your body structure?
So our body posture can look like cheese
Does the center of gravity of a solid body always lie within the body?
The center of gravity of a solid body does not always lie within the body. An example of this is a hula hoop. The center of gravity does not lie on the hoop that rotates.
Under what condition the center of mass does not coincide with the center of gravity?
If the gravity is not constant over the body.
Does the center of gravity always lies on the body?
No. For example, a ring has a center of gravity in the center of the ring, not on any part of the ring.
How does a center of gravity affect the balance?
yes ,when centre of gravity and center of mass is at a st.line the body is balanced.

Why does the center of gravity and center of buoyancy always not in same position?
Center of gravity is supposed to act at the centroid of the body. while center of buoyancy is the center of gravity of fluid displaced . so they cant be at single point. if the body is completely submerged and homogenous then both cg and cb will coincide
