Concept explainers

Center of Gravity and Centroid

The term center of gravity indicates the position or location of a point about which the whole weight of a body or system is supposed to be concentrated, which means the whole weight of the body or system works through this point. It is closely related to mass distribution. For all positions of the body, the center of gravity would be a single point.

Question

A body floating in a liquid is said to be in neutral equilibrium, if its metacentre

(a) coincides with its centre of gravity

(b) lies above its centre of gravity

(d) lies between the centre of buoyancy and centre of gravity
