What are the examples in which centre of gravity lies outside the object?

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.

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
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.
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.
How does gravity affect motion of an object?
The object is accelerated towards the centre of mass of system formed by the object moving and the other object.

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 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.
How do mountains stay upright?
This is a simple physics question. The centre of gravity (the place where most of an object's weight is) does not fall outside the base of the mountain.
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 point at which the pull of gravity of an object is considered concentrated?
The centre of mass.
What is the name of a force that pulls object towards the centre of the earth?
gravity
