does centre of mass of any body lie outside the body |
|
Answer» Very crudely,\xa0centre of mass\xa0is the point where the\xa0mass\xa0appears to be concentrated. In a non-uniform gravitational field, it doesn\'t coincide with\xa0centre of mass. It\xa0can\xa0also\xa0lie outside the body. Since torque\xa0can\xa0be measured around\xa0any\xa0axis, it is not necessary for the\xa0centre of gravity\xa0to\xa0lie\xa0inside the\xa0body. Centre of mass is hypothetical geometry point where whole mass of body is concentrated. It is position vector.Centre of mass may lie outside the body. |
