'The center of gravity coincides with the center of mass: Select one: a always b. if the body has a uniform distribution of mass C if the center of mass is at the geometrical center of the body d_ never e if the acceleration due to gravity is uniform over the body'
The centre of mass of a body is defined as the point at which the whole of its mass is supposed to be concentrated, while centre of gravity of a body is defined as the point at which whole of its weight is supposed to be concentrated then, (a) the centre of gravity always coincides with the centre of mass (b) the centre of gravity may lie slightly below the centre of mass (c) the centre of gravity may lie slightly above the centre of mass (d) None of these
