Distinguish between centre of gravity and centre of mass. |
|
Answer» 1. Centre of gravity: It is the location where the effective weight of the entire body acts. 2. Centre of mass: It is the location where a particle having mass equal to that of the system is placed such that the Newton’s laws of motion can be applied to the entire system. If acceleration due to gravity is uniform for all the particles of the system, then centre of mass is same as the centre of gravity, otherwise not. |
