What is the role of centre of gravity in deciding the stability of an object?

The center of gravity is the average location of weight of an object, meaning that a ball, for instance, will have a center of gravity in the cent of the ball. A persons center of gravity is generally around the hip area, you can test this by leaning to one side, when you begin to tip naturally that's because your center of gravity is leaning too far out over your support, or legs.

Why a men bow himself while carrying heavy lod on his back?
Every object on the Earth is governed by a force called Gravity. But regardless to the shape of the object, every oject has a 'centre of Gravity'. To, attain the position of stability the centre of gravity and the centre of mass of that object should be on same vertical line (perpendicular to earth). So, when man lift the heavy weight it total mass increased and and the centre of mass deviates from the centre of gravity of that man (man+ weight), so to maintain the stability man bow down to bring back its centre of mass with its centre of gravity. and in this way he can walk/stand with the load, otherwise we will fall back with its load.
How can you locate the center of gravity?
Usually the centre of gravity is at the centre of the object, scaling from both sides OR centre of mass where the object is stable when holding it up on a pin point
Is it possible for an object not to have a center of gravity?
No, but the centre of gravity need not be inside the object. Not unless Gravity is not a variable. But it is not possible for an object to not have a center of mass.
What is the center-of gravity for a spherical object?
the centre of the sphere.
How is the center of the gravity determined when an object is at rest or in motion?
If the object is a thin lamina with uniform thickness (e.g. a piece of paper), the the centre of gravity of the object is at its geometrical centre. It can be determined by suspending a load (e.g. pendulum) on an edge of the lamina twice and the point where the plumb lines intersect is the centre of gravity.
The force that pulls an object to the centre of the earth is?
isn't in gravity??
What is in the center of gravity?
The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.
Does the centre of gravity change on moon?
As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.
If an object has a high centre of gravity what could ensue?
If it is a tall object, it could fall over.
What is the name of a force that pulls object towards the centre of the earth?
gravity
What Is the point at which the pull of gravity of an object is considered concentrated?
The centre of mass.
Is the center of gravity always in the center of the object?
The earth pulls every molecule of an object in a downwards direction, or in other words every molecule of an object has a weight. We can add all the millions of tiny molecule weights together and get a single resultant force for the weight of the whole object. So an object behaves as if its whole weight was a single force which acts through a point G called its centre of gravity. An object of uniform thickness and density has its mass evenly spread throughout and its centre of gravity is at its geometrical centre. Some examples of objects with regular shapes and uniform densities are shown in the figures below. It is interesting to note the centre of gravity of an object is not necessarily inside the object.
