A centre of gravity is outside a single body where that body is shapde in such a manner as to cause that. For example, the COG of a horseshoe is not inside the horseshoe metal, but in the middle between the two sides of it, because the mass on either side of that point balances around it. A bar stool has a COG outside itself, since the same effect applies.

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.
If an object is to stand firm and not tip over what must be its centre of gravity?
The center of gravity of an object must be directly above its base of support in order to prevent tipping over. If the center of gravity is outside of the base of support, the object will be unstable and likely to tip.
How do we know wheater abody is in a stable or unstable equilbrium due to position of its centre of gravity?
If the center of gravity of an object falls below its support base, it is in stable equilibrium. If the center of gravity falls outside the support base, it is in unstable equilibrium. You can determine the stability by assessing the relationship between the object's center of gravity and its base of support.
How can you locate the center of gravity?
The center of gravity of an object can be located by finding the point where the weight of the object is evenly distributed in all directions. This point is usually the point of intersection for all the lines of action of the object's weight. In simpler terms, it is the point at which the object would balance perfectly in any direction.
How center of gravity determines whether the objects is at rest or in motion.?
The centre of gravity does not, by itself, determine whether an object is at rest or in motion. The location of the centre of gravity, relative to where the object is supported, can contribute one of many forces that can act on the object. And it is is the [vector] sum of these forces which determines whether the object remains at rest or in uniform motion.
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.
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.
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.
The force that pulls an object to the centre of the earth is?
isn't in gravity??
How does a center of gravity affect the balance?
The center of gravity is the point where the weight of an object is concentrated. When the center of gravity is properly aligned over the base of support, it helps to maintain balance. If the center of gravity is outside the base of support, it can cause the object to tip over.
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.
If an object is to stand firm and not tip over what must be its centre of gravity?
The center of gravity of an object must be directly above its base of support in order to prevent tipping over. If the center of gravity is outside of the base of support, the object will be unstable and likely to tip.

What makes a object tip?
if the centre of gravity is beyond the base (assuming no other supports) then an object will tip
