On what factors centre of gravity depends?

The center of gravity of an object depends on its mass distribution and shape. The location of an object's center of gravity affects its stability and balance. Objects with a lower center of gravity are typically more stable.


Is it necessary for the centre gravity to be situated inside the body of irregular shape?

No, the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object does not have to be located inside the object. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the object is concentrated, and it can be located both inside and outside the object depending on its shape and distribution of mass.


What the factors affecting centre of gravity?

The factors affecting the center of gravity of an object include its shape, mass distribution, and orientation relative to a reference point. Objects with irregular shapes or uneven mass distribution tend to have a less predictable center of gravity. Changes in the object's position or orientation can also affect the location of its center of gravity.


What is the center of gravity for a lamina?

If the lamina is in two dimensions (i.e. not curled round into a third dimension) then the centre of gravity will be somewhere within the flat shape. The position of the centre of gravity will depend on the distribution of mass across the lamina. If the lamina is curled round into a third dimension then the centre of gravity will be somewhere within the volume enclosed, fully or partially, by the lamina; this may or may not be on the lamina.


What is the centre of gravity of trapezium?

Trapezoid The center of gravity of can be estimated by dividing the trapezoid in two triangles. The center of gravity will be in the intersection between the middle line and the line between the triangles centers of gravity.

Why is the center of gravity different between regular and irregular shapes?

Each body has its own centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of two regular shapes - an equilateral triangle and a square will be different so why should the cog of a regular and an irregular shape not be different?


Why does trhe center of gravity of regular shapes always be in the middle of the shape?

There may be a clue in the similarity of meaning between the words CENTRE and MIDDLE.


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.


Does the centre of gravity always lie inside the body?

No. The classic counterexample is the torus (ring-shape); the center of gravity is in the geometric center of the ring, which is NOT part of the ring.

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.


What polygon is a regular star?

A 'concave decagon' is a ten-sided shape with every other corner pushed in towards the centre. It forms a regular five-pointed star.


When was SHAPE Technical Centre created?

SHAPE Technical Centre was created in 1955.


Is the centre of gravity the same for an object placed on the moon and the surface of the earth?

Yes. COG is determined by the object shape & density distribution, not by its location.


Why planets are of regular in shape while meteors are irregular in shape?

Because of their larger gravity, AND their larger size. Larger gravity will allow smaller hills or other irregularities; larger size means that an irregularity of a certain size will smaller, compared to the size of the planet.


What is the only planet that is not spherical in shape?

All planets are 'round' because of gravity. With the formation of the Solar System, gravity gathered gas and dust into clumps which became larger and eventually planets. The collision of these pieces caused planets to become hot and molten and gravity pulled the molten material towards the planet's centre in the shape of a sphere. The planets cooled and remained spherical
